Kinktober - Day 3 - Pet Play (Part 1)

Kinktober 2024 Masterlist

A/N : Hey guys ! I'm a couple of hours late for Kinktober Day 3 but here it is ! The prompt is pet play. I actually got really inspired by it and as it turns out, I got somewhat ambitious and it is a long one. I'm not done with it so I will be releasing it in two parts. That way, you can still have something to enjoy on the day of 🤭. Please mind that this is my personal take on pet play, which is informed by reading that I have done on the subject. This kink can look different depending on people's dynamic ! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it ❤️

Part 2

CW : pet play, implied d/s dynamic, soft domination, vanilla

« Honestly, I wouldn’t mind being someone’s pet ». Little did you know these joking words would be the end of you. 

You’d known Marshall for a little while. You had quite a few friends in common and, in spite of your age difference, you had become quite close. You namely shared a love for music and a questionable humor, as well as a knack for pushing the jokes a little too far. Everyone you knew said that the two of you had a chaotic duo energy but they had to admit that it was very distracting. It was all dark humor and banter. You always made fun of each other and you were never short on jokes that capitalized on his status as a lonely, single fifty something man with an hermit reputation. The age thing and relationship status were true. However, he was far from being lonely, or an hermit. Still, you enjoyed teasing him. You were spending the afternoon at his place, just the two of you, browsing through his cassette collection and discussing the latest hip-hop drama, when he made a snarky comment in passing about your recent breakup. Something about your relationships never lasting too long because of you being impossible. « That’s a lot of nerve for someone who’s been single for what ? Four, five years ? At least I’m putting myself out there. You should try that sometimes. », you clapped back. « I didn’t- I mean… You know. I’m just saying you don’t know how to pick guys that can actually handle you. », he tentatively clarified. « I’m not impossible », you argued. « For these dudes, you are », he hummed. « Whatever », you sighed. « Why don’t we focus on you, huh ? You talk as if you were such a big relationship expert buy you’re the lonely, single one. I still have a bunch of options. You, on the other hand…». He stared at you with an amused look on his face. « I’m all good, thank you for your concern, Y/N », he said calmly. You chortled and mumbled something inaudible, causing him to sigh. « To be fair, I’d rather be alone than have to deal with the whole relationship thing », he stated. « So… You don’t miss dating ? Like… You’re ok with the possibility of ending up alone ? » you asked with a raised eyebrow. 

«Yeah I wouldn’t mind some company but I don’t care about it that much », he shrugged. « Besides… Just because I’m not dating doesn’t mean I’m lonely. ». You hummed. Ultimately, Marshall’s dating life was none of your business. But as his friend, even though you sometimes joked about it, you didn’t want him to be alone. You knew him enough to know that, even though his family and friends kept his social life fulfilled, he could easily get into his own head. In truth, you were concerned. « How about a pet ? » you suggested with a smile. « I wouldn’t be a good pet owner, especially now that it’s just me at home » he chuckled. « I work too much. And I’m not sure it’d be too happy here ». You let out a giggle and looked around you. He had this massive mansion all to himself and you could definitely imagine a couple of cats or dogs living their best life. « Yeah, you’re right. Huge houses usually don’t make great spaces for pets » you said sarcastically. He shook his head and smiled. « Here’s the issue : if I want some live-in company, I’d need something as independent as a human being but as easy and docile as a pet » he chuckled. You hummed in understanding, thinking to yourself that this man was definitely too complicated. You already knew it but sometimes, it showed more. « Too bad it doesn’t exist. Maybe we wouldn’t have to deal with you being all cranky if it did » you joked. « I mean, it does. It’s just hard to find the right match » he shrugged evasively. « Huh ? » you asked with a raised eyebrow. « I mean, you know. Like… Different kinds of pets » he hummed. You still didn’t get it. You stared intently, waiting for him to elaborate. But he didn’t. « Like… robots ? » you asked. The question made him laugh, as if you had said some sort of joke. « I know you’re younger, but I didn’t think you’d be so innocent » he chortled. « Like what ? I really don’t get it ! » you defended yourself. « Like pet play, Y/N. That’s what I’m saying. Like… Real people being pets, it’s a thing». You ket out a giggle. « You mean people dressing up in the bedroom for some kinky shit ? » you asked jokingly. « I mean, yeah, that exists. But some people go kind of deeper than that. Even in non-sexual ways. They just have that relationship with someone, where they let go of tension, responsibilities, and they let the other person direct them and care for them ». You hummed, understanding a little better. In truth, you hadn’t really heard of that before. « So they’re treated… like an animal ? Like, they’re fine with being treated like a dog ? » you asked with your eyebrows furrowed. « Some people actually enjoy that. But it’s not so much about feeling like an animal. It’s just letting go, trusting someone to be responsible for your wellbeing. Like, they have rules, boundaries, and they can unwind ». You nodded, finding that it actually made some sense. « You seem to know a lot about this, old man », you teased. He shook his head and gave you an enigmatic smile. « I’m 51. I know a lot about a lot of things. ». You hummed again and chuckled. « That doesn’t seem so terrible. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind being someone’s pet. Maybe it’d help with the constant noise in my head. ». He stared at you intently and chortled. « Right. You. A pet. » he said mockingly. « What’s that ? You don’t believe me ? What are you saying exactly ? » you asked, falsely offended. 

« You’re an agent of chaos, that’s what I’m saying », he chuckled softly. « I’ve been friends with you long enough to know you’d suck as a pet. You just don’t have what it takes ». You crossed your arms, almost vexed by his comment. You couldn’t exactly deny being rather skilled as an agent of chaos, but there was no way in hell you would let him say you weren’t good enough. « You think you know me that well, huh ? », you challenged him. « Maybe I’m not the problem, you know ». He raised an eyebrow. « Meaning ? », he asked, as if to make sure he understood the implication quite right. « You heard me », you said defiantly. « You’re would suck as a pet but, really, you’re the one who wouldn’t have what it takes ». His eyes opened a little wider and he scoffed, shifting to an assured stance. « Is that right ? », he asked. « Oh yeah », you teased.  « You wouldn’t be up to the challenge ». There. You had said them. The magic words that, you knew, flipped a switch inside of his brain. In the few years you’d known him, you had come to learn that Marshall didn’t deal well with people doubting him. And, petty as you were, you didn’t shy away from using that against him from time to time. « You know what ? Let’s settle this. I’ll show you », he challenged. You froze for a second because laughing. « Show me what ? » you asked. « That I’m up to the challenge », he replied. « I’ll prove to you that I’d be quite skilled as a master. You’re the one who would not last a day ». Now, you were the one being provoked. You crossed your arms and tilted your head, gesturing for him to elaborate. « You try being my pet for 24 hours. We’ll see who lasts longer. You or me. Then, you’ll now if you’re terrible as a pet or if I suck as a master. Deal ? ». You stared Ito his baby blue eyes. 

« What’s at stake ? » you inquired with a raised eyebrow. « Honor », he simply shrugged. « That’s the answer of someone who knows he’s going to eat his words », you teased. He looked at you and let out a sardonic chuckle. « Alright, smart-ass, what do you want ? » he asked, seemingly dubious. « Amazing Fantasy #15 » you immediately replied. He let out a laugh and shook his head, as if you had just made a joke. You stared at him with your arms crossed, standing on business. « Do you even know how much this thing costs ? » he challenged. Only you did know how much it cost. That comic book was a rarity, a holy grail. One he kept somewhere in a safe and had always refused to let you borrow, arguing that you were way too clumsy to be trusted with the diamond of his collection. « Last one that was auctioned was sold for over three million. I know. », you answered matter-of-factly. « Though rumor has it that you paid a third of that price for yours», you added. « We’re not betting a million dollar-worth comic book over some stupid pet play joke », he warned. « Relax, grandpa. I’m not suggesting you hand it over. I just want custody of it for a week. », you said. « Two hours. With gloves and supervision. », he counter-offered. « Two days. Here. No supervision. I’ll agree to the gloves. Besides… I thought you were confident. Are you backing down, old man ? », you grinned. « Put some respect on your owner’s name, pet » he grinned as he extended his hand. « You got yourself a deal. But if I win, I want your imperial star destroyer ». You stared into defiantly into his eyes and shook his hand, determined to make him eat his words and win your bet. Not only were you a sore loser and you really wanted to read that comic book, but now that the most precious item of your Lego collection was at stake, you absolutely refused to let him win. « You’re not my owner », you said. « Not until next weekend, that is », he replied with a grin. 

The two of you had agreed that the bet would start on Friday evening at 8PM and that you’d have to be a docile pet for a whole 24 hours. You’d spend the weekend at his place, which wouldn’t be the first time, since he often had people over. You hung out with him often and you’d stayed over in the past. His huge mansion was the perfect place for entertaining people and he tended to take advantage of that. In the preceding days, you had done research on the pet play dynamic, trying to figure out what you should expect. It appeared to be quite a spectrum, with various roles and possibilities. You had agreed to leave the details to Marshall and, although you inherently trusted him, you sort of counted on him to be an asshole to some extent. That being said, you’d previously had a conversation regarding limits, so you knew he was aware of things you absolutely wouldn’t agree to. He was one of your closest friends and he knew you pretty well anyway. That being said, you were a little curious as to what he had planned. Knowing him and his knack for making fun of you, you almost expected pranks. You wouldn’t put it past him to have dress you in some silly outfit and have you eat from a dog bowl.

When you arrived at his place, you greeted him with a hug, as usual. He took your bag and you went to sit on the couch. « I’m surprised you haven’t already bailed » he gently teased. « You know I’m not a quitter, Mathers. Besides… I really want to read that comic book. » you replied with a grin. He hummed and moved a little closer to you. « So, we’re doing this, huh ? » he asked. « Unless you already want to-» you began. « I’m good, pet » he cut you. « Let’s see if you can handle it for a day ». You looked at him defiantly, willing to show you were absolutely not willing to back down. « Bring it on, old man. Whatever you have planned, I can and will handle » you said. He chuckled and walked to fetch something from a drawer. « I figured you’d need something to fully get into it » he said with a grin as he handed you a collar with a little bell on it, as well as a pair of clip-on cat ears. You gave him a side-eye. You knew he would do something corny like this. Still, you weren’t one to fold, so you immediately put them on. « How do I look ? » you asked. « Pretty cute » he admitted. « So, we’ve established that I’m going to be a cat ? » you asked. He shook his head and shrugged, as it it didn’t really matter. «Pets don’t talk, now, do they ? », he asked with a playful grin. « So be a good girl and shut up unless I ask you something or allow you to speak, alright ? », he added. You pursed your lips and stared at him, tempted to run your mouth, but you ended up nodding, not without a slight eye-roll. He chuckled and cupped your jaw, stroking your cheek with his thumb. « Good girl », he softly praised. « And since I’m nice, I’ll pretend I didn’t notice you rolling your eyes ». You were used to having physical contact with Marshall. As a friend, he wasn’t one to be stingy with hugs. But this was different. It was caring and warm and intimate. You sort of liked it, though. As innocent as it was, it sent some kind of warmth through your body, the way he had gently cupped your face and asserted his dominance. He took you to the movie room, suggesting to watch a movie. You figured the weekend and that stupid bet might turn out to be enjoyable. After all, lounging in a lavish mansion, with the promise of being taken care of didn’t sound like a total nightmare. Even if that implied remaining silent and surrendering to someone else. You walked to one of the couched but, before you had the chance to sit, Marshall cleared his throat. « No pets on the couch », he hummed. You immediately gave him a side-eye, although you remained silent. You stood there, watching him. « Don’t look at me like that », he chuckled. « I’m not a monster. I’m not going to make you sit on the floor. I actually got you something ». He went to a corner of the room and brought what resembled a dog bed. Only, it was human-sized and seemed rather comfy, almost luxurious. He positioned it next to the touch and gestured to it, a smile tugging at his lips. « Did a bit of shopping, this week. Wanted to make sure my pet had everything she needs. What do you think ? », he asked. Judging by his smile, you could tell he was pretty proud of himself. Apparently, the collar and the corny cat ears were not enough and you wondered what else he’d bought. « Are you serious ? » you asked. « Are you backing down already ? » he playfully retorted. « Not at all. This looks… Fine, actually ». You kneeled and took place on the dog bed while he sat on the couch. To your surprise, it was one of the comfiest things you had ever sat on, and you almost automatically curled up on the soft fabric as Marshall stared at you with a smile. « See ? ». 

You silently hummed and he picked the movie, opting for some classic comedy, one genre he actually knew you liked. You settled, a little bit apprehensive. Calm and focus had never been your forte and, as much as you enjoyed lounging in front of a movie, knowing you had to be obedient was a little challenging. You were starting to get antsy and fidget a little and Marshall seemed to pick up on it. He gently placed a hand on the top of your head and traced small circles with his fingers. « Relax, pet. Just focus on the movie and ease up ». You hummed and tried your best to ease the tension of the past week. It had been stressful at work and you could feel it in your neck and shoulders. As soon as he saw you stretch your neck and shoulders, he placed his hands on your trapezius muscle region and gently started to massage. You closed your eyes and hummed in approval. « Better ? » he asked softly after a few minutes. « Yeah, thanks » you replied with gratitude, thinking that he wasn’t too bad when it came to caring for someone. « Good. Now just focus on the movie », he directed. You turned your head and focused on the screen. After a while, Marshall got up and left the room, only to come back after a few minutes with some snacks and water. « I know you never drink enough water or really eat when you’re working. Time to hydrate and eat. » he commanded. You looked at him with an appreciative smile and did as you were told. There was something freeing about all of this. You had thought the whole thing would be somewhat gimmicky, but he had actually anticipated your needs. He seemed kind of serious about this bet.  When you were done with the water bottle and the snacks, he gently patted your head. « Good », he gently praised. You gave him an appreciative smile and turned your attention back to the movie as his fingers kept on stroking your hair. Slowly but surely, the noise in your head started to quieten and you began to let go of all the tensions of the past week. In the back of your mind, you knew you were safe, with someone you trusted and felt safe with. When the movie ended, you were in some kind of zone, fully relaxed for the first time in ages. You knew where you were and yet, at the same time, you felt a little hazy. « All good ? » Marshall asked. You simply nodded with a soft smile, something different than usual in your eyes. You were usually in pocket rocket mode, especially around your friends. They were used to your erratic, sometimes chaotic energy, and how you never really stopped talking or fidgeting. No one was really used to seeing you calm and silent. Not even yourself. You could see Marshall smile and he extended a hand for you to get up and grab. « Time for bed, now, pet. I know you had a long day. You need to rest. ». You nodded again and followed him upstairs while he carried your bag. You expected him to drop it in the guest bedroom where you usually slept whenever you stayed over, but he seemed to have other plans in mind. He smiled as soon as he picked up on your confusion. « Pets sleep with their owners, now, don’t they ? » he said with a low voice that sent shivers down your spine.

1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 19, 23, 25, 28, 31, 39, 40, 43, 44, 50 OC BLAST!!!💥

[ask game]

OOO SO MANY >:0 Ty!!!

1. Your first OC ever?

answered here, but to name a different one: the first OC i made that wasn't a warrior cat rp character was Layalu (my namesake! :D)! I made him intended as my fursona because everyone had fursonas and i thought they were SO cool so i wanted one too really badly. I followed a guide for it and everything!! It said that fursonas usually took a long time to make and they are supposed to represent you and all that but i mostly just wanted something Cool TM. So i looked at all the colour symbolism and put every colour with Deep Meaning TM in there and he got to be a lion (they're neat and i liked drawing them) and a dragon tail and wings because dragons are epic. I was very torn between making him male or female for a bit because i really wanted him to have a mane and kid me did not yet have the epiphany that i can make him a female and still give him a mane. Anyways. Cue 11 year old me scribbling furiously to make An Epic Fursona and the result was This Guy

actually i lied a little this was already his 2nd iteration that happened after one (1) day. Se those bits with green shining through? yeah lol i decided that was one colour too much. He also only managed to stay my fursona for a month or so before he converted into an OC rip. So. yea! Layalu origin story :)

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

answered here and here (Sam and Stormy), but Liam's also up there as a fave, he rotates back in as Blorbo Of The Day a lot xdd Just something about his swaglessness and The Hawke Tragedy and his devotion to his family that Got Me. Also, he is super fun and easy to draw for me so that is also a bonus

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

Surprising, yes! this guy!

I never really got into adoptables and OC trades since i tend to make guys within established rp groups/games/etc, but this guy was an adopt raffle within one of those groups :] Sadly i only did very little with him but i do love his silly awkward nerd ass <3

4. A character you rarely talk about?

Mmm another more recent/"active" one who doesn't get much screentime is Ulhar (my tav)! Ulhar i am so sorry that i didn't latch on to you or bg3 properly i hope i can make it up to you in a replay 😔😔 Either way though she is my silly lizard rogue who is soooo normal about attachment and loyalty and vulnerability i prommy.

^ the silly in question

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot

SO MANYY!!!!!! including yours i love your birdies,,, but. shoutout to @a-drama-addict's Chloe Hawke she's been in my mind and my heart since *checks notes* 2021 and i still care her lots <333

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

answered here (Desertblaze) but another one who means a lot to me is Stormyrain! Yes, also a warriors one flksjfdls but she was a gateway character to meeting a lot of friends and in general just. a lot of experiences and people who were/are important to me, and she was the first time that i got really properly invested and attached to an oc's relationships (and with that, other's ocs also), and i remember that one time i got so proud about writing out her ref sheet because it was the first time that i felt like i captured the personality and vibe and depth that i wanted for a character. I still reuse iterations of her for other things sometimes, or just doodle her for funsies :)

feeling nostalgic so here's my original tryout/concept art that i did of her before she was even Official :)

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

...most of them fjsfjdslj. I rarely go in With A Plan and even when i do it. basically never works out oops.

25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)

Hmm i don't think i have any one character that is The Most Like Me TM, they just all will have some thing or another that's like me. June has a similar brand of logical reasoning as me. Liam sings in a similar way that i do. Noya has my flavour of Artist Stare. Ylva has my like for baking. And so on.

28. Your most dangerous OC?

Depends on the type of dangerous!

Ari can end a guy's entire career if he so wishes. Kala used to to be professionally Dangerous for a living. June has the most raw potential to cause Large Scale Physical Damage

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Oh Ylva would have sooo much fun making her blog theme pretty; purple and mint with skulls, and a scarab cursor! Would struggle with the code and would probably ask someone else for help though. Would mostly post moodboards and photography and anything that catches her attention; lots of scenery and historical places and trinkets and the like! Also, food!! funky cake decorations, recipes, that kinda stuff. And quotes and literary analysis and things like informative ramble posts from people about places they've been or cool things they found.

39. Introduce any character you want

Hands u. my KHUX key kid. who i've barely ever drawn and who has almost nothing to him. but i miss him i hope he's doing well (<- if i remember The Lore correctly he is not, in fact, doing well)

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

So so so many!!! Recently-ish i was going through some old rp chats that i had with Sam and his family and my god. i miss them so much i love them so much.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

answered here for a bunch of recurring physical traits but hmm. some other things

noticed the other day that many MANY of my guys have some very deep loyalty or love of some kind that is central to them

consistently bad at naming things. on account of *i* am bad at naming things lol

aspec. not even on purpose it just Happens

also very often nd. also not on purpose lol

there is. definitely more but brain is mush rn fkjsjdfslfjls

44. Something you like about your OCs in general

Hmm i think i'm pretty good at taking a Vague Guy and slowly padding them out! And kinda. making A Whole Guy out of the vague concept as i go and piece things together :)

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

Alder on the brain. I am squeezing him like a stressball. poor guy just keeps being unwell in all sorts of ways. rip buddy hope you get better soon

[sohcah--toa]

bullet train/マリアビートル details ~

Hello!! I recently dug up the Bullet Train script (if you search it up, you should be able to find it relatively easily!! I'm not sure if it's completely reliable but it seems to be the first version) and listened to the soundtrack. (It's awesome, you should listen if you haven't already!!)

There's a lot of stuff here about マリアビートル, I hope you enjoy reading 🥳 (It's really ridiculous)

-- 1 ) LEMON'S CHILDHOOD // BACKGROUND(??)

I attached a photo for reference in the book!! :D (there's highlighter marks, I'm sorry) His backstory is tragic and aahh noo 🥹... I won't say much on it because we're all thinking the same thing. In the script, this is carried over when Lemon passes out because of the water. But apparently, in the final movie, this isn't shown a lot. In the book and movie, they aren't brothers and have a considerably colder relationship, so I can understand why the childhood scene in the cut is so much more wholesome. (Still supersuper cool though!!)

-- 2) "I'm forever blowing bubbles"

The original reason why this song was chosen for Bullet Train was because of Tangerine's West Ham United sticker (turns out, that's a football club). Hey!! But wait a minute!! There's a funny coincidence because Ladybug in the book was trying to become a football star. He has a quote that's like "my friend told me that someone like me could either become a footballer or a criminal, so I did both" and he says that his first crime was stealing a football.

The song delves into themes surrounding fortune as well!! I love their music selection 🙇‍♂️😤

-- 3) THREE ASSASSINS/グラスホッパー REFERENCES

Okay this part (in a way...) contains spoilers for Three Assassins, which is the first book of the "series"! ! The story revolves around a guy named Suzuki, who appears again in Bullet Train!! He kinda-sorta becomes friends with Ladybug and it's like 😊 they are so happy. To be completely honest, Suzuki's a bit traumatised but so is Ladybug, right?? Lovely friendship!!

It's also so interesting that he's reading a hotel buffet menu because his wife used to love eating at buffets and he adopted the habit of hoarding all the food as well. He's on the train to meet with his dead wife's family (which was extremely difficult for him after her passing).

-- 4) BULLET TRAIN REFERENCES IN THE MANTIS/AX

There's this other book in the series called The Mantis or AX for the Japanese version. This one isn't talked about a lot but if you like family stories, this book is so so soo good. It really pulled at my heartstrings when I first read it but I can't say too much without spoiling everything. Anyway, it makes a few references to Bullet Train and literally starts with the main character, Kabuto (an assassin), having a flashback to talking to Tangerine and Lemon during one of his missions, where they had the same target so they worked together. The Twins really respect him, actually, but find it funny that he's so careful around his wife (YES KABUTO, AN ASSASSIN, HAS A WIFE). Some characters reappear so.. :")) yay!!

-- 5) 777

Ladybug comes back!! He comes back in the latest book in the series; 777. So far, the Japanese reviews have been pretty positive and I think there's an English translation coming in November!! 🥳 I like how the title is 777; 7 like 7 tails in Nanao (七尾), car 7, his favourite number is 7 (if I recall correctly), 7 the "lucky number".

-- 6) THIS GUY

No one asked but I heavily dislike the Prince in the book. (to be honest, who doesn't...) He's just mean for no reason and likes ruining people's lives, makes fun of poor Ladybug (this really isn't that bad compared to the other stuff he does) and yeah, the list goes on. Also apparently he (heavily) tortures other schoolmates and it's not like he gets paid for it like the Twins or the other guys. He just does it for fun?? OK!! The premise of his character is amazing and it's great to see a villain that's actually just straight evil but since he's designed that way, we are validated when hating him ww. He talks about politics as well for some reason... keeps referencing historical tragedies.... man.

-- 7) ASAGAO/THE PUSHER

The Pusher is back too!! Weee~ (not really)

In the movie, it seems as though this entire part got cut out which, like, is reasonable. I attached a photo from the Grasshopper (2015) movie for reference hahaha. The guy in the black suit is the Pusher!! Yeah, he pushes people!! (not in the fun way!!)

He is in charge of protecting Wataru from the Prince's guy, although he's reluctant at first. He's obsessed with bugs and stuff. Whenever he opens his mouth, it's probably going to be about bugs. The Pusher's also strangely poetic. Maybe it's because he likes old bands like the Rolling stones? Oh!! And he gets mentioned in The Mantis.

And speaking of the Kimura family, Yuichi Kimura says something very true and it's:

"who do they gotta make the train toilets so nasty"

-- 8) LADYBUG IS COOL

This is very much a fact. In Mariabeetle, he gets kidnapped when he's 8 years old because he gets mistaken for a rich kid (after he lost a bet with his wealthy friend and had to wear his "rich person backpack"), then in the place he's being held captive, he escapes by HIMSELF since his dad isn't able to give the guys money for his son back (since they took the wrong person!!). But heyy he's resourceful and smart.

AND guess what?? He gets traumatised because there was this other boy being held but Ladybug didn't save him and it's haunted him ever since. This is also one of the reasons why he ends up helping the Prince even though he knows it won't do him any good.

Obviously, it gets worse from there. He makes it back to his family and they're pretty happy. Unfortunately, they're far from rich and Ladybug has to study extremely hard to get into a college. Spoiler alert, he doesn't. THE THING IS!! He studied so hard!! It's just that during his exam, some kid sneezed on his paper and he wiped it, smudging all his work and even his name!! Nanao! No!!

-- 9) TANGERINE BOOK RECS

To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf

"We perished, each alone."

-> He really loves that quote. A lot. Also he's a Virginia Woolf fan!!

2. Forbidden Colours - Yukio Mishima

-> He's also a Yukio Mishima fan... I wonder if he's ever read "The Sound of Waves". What would he think about it? Hahaha this will keep me up at night 😅 (<- SLANTED EMOJI!!)

3. The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea - Yukio Mishima

-> To talk about Article 41 of the Penal Code of Japan. (Mr Kotaro Isaka, the author, studied law, by the way!! It's interesting!!) However, here, Tangerine quotes Mishima on Article 41 ;)

4. Hemingway and Faulkner

-> Actually it's a collection so it's not really a book recommendation but these two people are real - Ernst Hemingway (the Old Man and the Sea guy) and William Faulkner. They didn't really get along, by the way, and even though they respected the other's work, they criticised more than praised. Sounds like the Twins.

5. Demons - Fyodor Dostoevsky

-> "Crime is no longer insanity, but simply common sense, almost a duty; anyway, a gallant protest."

I think the author is a heavy Fyodor Dostoevsky fan, just because he also referenced his works in Three Assassins.

6. Crime and Punishment ;D

-> "Science now tells us, love yourself before all men, for everything in the world relies on self-interest."

(CONT'D) yeahh this book was referenced in Three Assassins and one of the characters is obsessed with it. Glad to see that Tangerine is a fan too hahahaha.

-- 10) LEMON IS AWESOME

Opinionated text here but Lemon is plain awesome.

"Between the principal's name and Doraemon's gadgets, it was blindingly obvious which one was more important."

To each their own and I know he's a criminal but he seems like he has no enemies. Sounds very wholesome.

-- 11) HORNET THE MVP

She's in Three Assassins AND the Mantis!! Hypercool. In both books, the Hornet is a team of a male and a female. The female is eliminated (this word choice ww) by Ladybug but the male is still up and kicking, though Ladybug feels bad about it. They use poison needles, like the movie, but they trigger anaphylaxis, which is a really dangerous allergic reaction that causes body shocks.

-- 12) SUZUKI: PHILOSOPHER AND ECONOMIST

"If people knew that they might be killed by someone tomorrow, economic activity would grind to a halt."

... well 😅 take from that what you will.

(that's Suzuki!!)

Cela dit... that's all.... so long, I'm sorry. But thank you so much if you read until the end!! I hope you at least found it a bit entertaining!! :"))

Cuddle Bugs | The Swarm

Very recently, I got to thinking about Cuddle Bugs, the fic you have where Virgil is raising his gaggle of kids and how much I *adored it*. Is Virgil a single parent in that fic? Has he ever had any potential romantic partner(s)? And how did the kids take it, were they suspicious of this sudden guy sending their dad flowers, wooing him, etc? It is hilarious to imagine a kinda "several moments where the kids disapprove of a man courting their dad, and the one time they don't" sort of fic. And the guy that they eventually gave their blessing to to date their dad is Remy or smth. :D – anon

Read on Ao3 Part 1 (not fully necessary but does establish the world)

Warnings: none!!!

Pairings: virgil/remy

Word Count: 2865

Virgil starts to see someone. His children have...opinions.

 

“I hope you don’t mind,” Virgil says as he opens the door, “but I’ve got one of my kids still here, his club got canceled and the babysitter has her exams this week.”

“Oh, it’s no trouble at all.” Remy puts his sunglasses on top of his head. “Given that you’ve got five of the little munchkins, I figured I’d normally get you with one of them.”

“Yeah, well, it’s not like we—“

“Dad? Is that you?”

“Yeah, Pop Star, it’s me!” Out of the corner of his eyes, he sees Remy mouthing Pop Star? He just shakes his head and turns to see Patton barrel down the stairs, his cat plushie held tightly under his chin. “Hey, there he is.”

Patton screeches to a halt when he sees Remy,. Remy waves a little bit and Patton pouts. Honest to god pouts.

“Who’s that?”

“I’m Remy. I’m a friend of your dad’s. Is it cool if I hang out for a bit?”

“Are you waiting for something?”

“Pat,” Virgil says softly and Patton glances at him, “he’s my friend. Friends can stay over for a bit, can’t they?”

Patton shuffles a little bit. “But you normally go to your friends and then Amy comes and stays with us.”

“That’s right, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have my friends over too, does it?”

Patton shrugs. “Is he staying for dinner? We have enough for garlic bread since Ro and Re aren’t home.”

“I like garlic bread.”

“You like any carb,” Virgil mutters, mainly for Remy to hear, and he just grins. “Well, does that mean you’re gone help me, Pop Star?”

“I can help. Can I put Winston on the counter?”

“Who’s Winston?”

Patton indignantly holds up the plushie, who Virgil could swear was named Star yesterday. “This is Winston!”

“Right, sorry. Yes, Winston can stay on the counter as long as he stays away from any of the food.”

“He doesn’t like garlic, it makes his breath smell really bad.”

”Garlic makes everybody’s breath smell bad, buddy.”

Patton wrinkles his nose as they move into the kitchen. “You should tell Janus that, he says it doesn’t work on him.”

”Oh, it works alright,” Virgil says under his breath and Remy laughs. As Patton bustles ahead to set Winston down on the safest part of the counter, he turns. “Thank you for doing this. I know it wasn’t what we planned—“

“Virgil. Sweetheart. I’d be an idiot to turn down fresh homemade garlic bread.” Remy pats his shoulder. “Besides, I think your little Pop Star has it covered.”

“You’re so gonna ask me about that later, aren’t you?”

“As soon as he’s out of the room.”

Virgil groans.

2.

“Logan? Where’d you go, bud?”

“I’m over here, Dad, I found the book i wanted.”

Virgil ducks around the end of the library shelf and sure enough, there’s his little genius sitting on the floor, cross-cross applesauce just as polite as can be, looking intently at t a book with pretty rocks on the front cover. He drops to one knee to ruffle his hair—and hear him squawk.

“What’s this one about?”

“Gemstone and minerals. The teacher said something in science class about how scientists can find out things based on the layers of rock and what would’ve been there when the dinosaurs were here and so I wanted to know more about how different types of rocks are made and do you know what iridium is?”

“Iridium? No, what is it?”

“It’s a type of really rare metal that’s actually more common in rocks from space so scientists can guess when and where they landed based on the amount of iridium.” Logan points to a picture of an asteroid. “See?”

“Whoa. That’s cool. How do they find out what’s iridium and what’s not?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t gotten that far yet.”

“That’s my boy.” Virgo ruffles his hair one more time—Logan doesn’t even notice, already absorbed in the book—and looks around for the front desk. “Do you want to check this one out and read it at home?”

“I don’t know if this one will have it.”

“Did you check the index like Ms. Tori taught you?”

“Yeah, but I don’t know if it’ll be under iridium or something else, so I’m looking.”

“Virgil?”

Virgil turns. “Remy? What’re you doing here?”

Remy walks over to them, eyeing Logan. “That’s…a different one than the one I met last time, right?”

“Yeah, this is a different one. Logan, can you say hi to my friend?”

”Hello.” Logan looks up. “You work at the museum?”

Remy glances at his name tag. “Yeah, I do. You got sharp eyes, kid.”

“Do you know what iridium is?”

“Tell you what,” Virgil says quickly, “let’s go check that book out and you and Remy can talk about iridium while we do that, okay?”

Remy, as it turns out, does know about iridium. Even better, he knows the part of museum where they explain how scientists do research with it. Virgil has a hard time prying Logan away from him when the book is all checked out, but he does get the plan for their next date all squared away.

“Just bring your little genius with you, otherwise we’ll both never hear the end of it.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice.”

3.

“Thank you for tonight,” Virgil says softly as they pull up to his house, “I really enjoyed it.”

”Hey, of course. There’s nothing wrong with a good old fashioned dinner and movie date.” Remy leans over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. ‘I’m glad you had fun.”

“Yeah, it was…really great.” Virgil glances up at the house. “You, uh, wanna come in for a drink before you drive home?”

“I’ll steal your bathroom, how’s that?”

“Mind the load-bearing wall, it tends to get stuck on the studs.”

Remy laughs as they get out, their breaths condensing in the cool night air. Virgil fishes in his pocket for the keys, the lazy contentment of a well-spent evening making his movements slow and a little clumsy. He eventually gets the door open just as Remy’s hands come to settle on his shoulders.

“You got it?”

“Mm.” He pushes the door open. “Still sure I can’t convince you to have one drink?”

”I’m driving.”

“Who said anything about alcohol?”

Remy’s eyes light up. “Why, Virgil, is this you telling me you’ll make me a nice fancy cup of coffee in your fancy coffee machine?”

“Oh, no, you said you only needed to use the bathroom, so—“

Remy pulls him back when he goes to turns way and kisses him properly. “Don’t do that to me, you menace, am I getting my coffee or not?”

“Go use the bathroom,” Virgil laughs, “then we’ll see.”

Remy gives him a look but turns to go off down the hall. Virgil chuckles, shaking his head. After he shrugs off his coat and shoes, keys in the key bowl, he goes to the kitchen and starts turning on his fancy coffee machine. What can he say, he’s a sucker for someone who appreciates the hard work it takes to make a good cup.

He’s considering what mug Remy would loathe the most when he hears a shout from down the hall.

“Remy? Is everything okay?”

He’s already moving. Dad instincts. He rounds the corner to see Remy frozen against the wall and a little bit further into the darkness, he sees gleaming eyes and a grinning mouth. He sighs.

“Remus, you’re supposed to be in bed.”

Remus giggles. Remy lets out a quiet noise as his little gremlin scuttles—yes, scuttles— forward and grins up at Remy. Remy gives him a little wave and he giggles again, leaving something on his foot before skittering up the stairs. Virgil sighs, leaning down to pick up—oh. It’s Remus’s green toy car.

“That,” Remy whispers as they hear a door creak open and shut, “was terrifying.”

“Yeah, sorry. I would’ve warned you about him.”

“You didn’t even flinch!”

“Yeah, well, after you wake up to him staring at you three inches from your face without saying a word a few times, you get used to it.”

Remy looks more than mildly horrified. Virgil holds up the toy.

“But hey, he gave you his green car, that means he likes you.”

”You literally have a gremlin.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Can you feed him after midnight?”

“I can’t feed him after nine.”

Remus shudders. “Now you’re definitely making me a cup of coffee before I leave.”

***

4.

He’s on the phone with Remy when there’s a little knock on his door. He pulls the phone away from his mouth and calls out and his little prince peeks his head around the door, his nose all red and his eyes all wet.

“Oh, hey,” he murmurs, sitting up and holding out his arms, “hey, Princey, what’s the matter?”

Little Roman lets out a sob and hurries across the room to fling himself into Virgil’s lap. Virgil hugs him immediately, pressing a kiss to the crown of his head.

“Hey, baby, what’s wrong? Can you tell me what’s going on?” Roman just sobs again. His little hiccuping breaths keep seizing against Virgil’s chest and he closes his eyes. “Shh, shh, baby, you’re okay. You’re safe, I’ve got you, I’m right here.”

“Is everything okay?” Remy asks quietly and Virgil jumps. He’d…forgotten he was on the phone.

“Roman’s crying,” he mutters back, “don’t know why.”

“Do you want to hang up?”

Virgil’s about to say yes when he notices that Roman’s not sobbing as much anymore. Instead, his little pouty face is peering up at the phone.

“Hey, Princey, it’s Remy. Can you hear him?” Roman nods. “You wanna say hi?”

He nods again and Virgil sets the phone on the other pillow tapping the speaker icon and hoisting his baby up onto his lap.

“You’re on speaker, Remy. Roman wants to say hi.”

“Hey, Roman,” comes Remy’s voice through the phone, “I hear you’re having a bad time right now, I’m sorry.”

Roman sniffles and clings his to Virgil a little more.

“I was just about to tell your dad about this story my zookeeper friend was telling me about their pandas. Do you wanna hear it?”

Roman nods and Virgil kisses his head. “Yeah, Remy, we’d like to hear about the pandas.”

Remy begins to tell a story about a panda getting confused by a little kid in a big white snow coat with a black hat. Apparently it thought the child was a pup that had gotten outside the enclosure, so it followed them around and around the pen, pawing at the window to try and figure out how to get the baby back. The poor thing had been so confused when the child took the coat off and had run to the other side of the enclosure.

Virgil goes to laugh again only to realize there's a snoozing Roman on his chest and laughing would definitely wake the poor thing up.

"He okay?" Remy asks when Virgil's side of the phone goes quiet.

"Yeah. He's just asleep now." He shifts to get a better angle so Roman won't wake up with a crick in his neck. "Sorry about that."

"Hey, nightmares get everybody. It's not the first time I've put someone to sleep with a story."

Virgil huffs a laugh. "Yeah?"

"Oh, my college friends used to call me Sleep 'cause I could knock 'em all out."

"Yeah, that sounds about right."

Remy makes a quiet offended noise that quickly turns into a laugh. "You two gonna bed down now?"

"That's probably for the best. Talk tomorrow?"

"See you then."

***

5.

Janus comes into the living room, sits down on the end of the couch, and puts his elbows on his knees like he's the kid genius in a supervillain movie, staring at Remy. Virgil's just about to scold him for being impolite when Remy, without missing a beat, puts his phone down and gets into the same position: criss-cross applesauce, elbows on knees, fingers steepled in front of his chin.

Virgil makes the very smart and reasonable decision to just see how this plays out.

"You're over here a lot," Janus says first.

"This is true."

"Why?"

"I like your dad. I want to spend time with him."

Virgil coughs to hide how red his face goes at that. Janus doesn't even notice.

"Why here?"

"Because your dad cares about you and your brothers a lot, and it makes him feel better to have you close in case anything goes wrong."

"Does that bother you?"

"Not at all."

Now, here's the thing: both Janus and Virgil are surprised by that. Technically, Janus has the smaller of their two reactions because he's in whatever interrogation mode this is—shit, his kid is giving the guy he's dating a shovel talk, isn't he, that's what's happening right now—but Virgil…Virgil just stares at him.

"Virgil is someone I care about, doesn't it make sense that I would care about the people he cares about?"

"Not necessarily."

Remy frowns. "Why not?"

"That hasn't been true of everyone that Dad's seen before."

"Okay," Virgil mutters, shifting on the couch, "we don't have to bring any of that up."

"Well, then those people should hope we're never in a room together, or else I might have to have a very nice, long, detailed chat with them about how wrong they are."

"Can I help?"

"Certainly."

"Guys," Virgil says, because this is very quickly spiraling into something it should absolutely not be—even if part of him is struggling not to find the whole thing very endearing, "I think that's enough."

"What's your favorite food?"

"I'm a big fan of spaghetti and meatballs."

"What about garlic bread?"

"I'll never say no to garlic bread."

"Are you staying for dinner?"

Remy just looks at Virgil, who shrugs. He looks back at Janus. "Is that alright with you?"

"Will you help us make garlic bread?"

"Absolutely, I will."

"Then come on, I'm hungry and the twins will start screaming in half an hour if they aren't fed."

"Oh, you're all gremlins, aren't you?"

Virgil doesn't quite know how that leads into Janus and Remy having a very heated debate about monsters and…something else, but he doesn't have to make dinner that night, so he's counting it as a win.

***

+1.

Virgil comes out of the bathroom and stifles a snort.

"I'm scared to move," Remy whispers, Patton's head nearly sliding off his shoulder, "help."

Movie nights had always been sacred in the household. They were for family only, they were a time where all of them put aside their differences and just spent the night cuddled up on the couch—sometimes going to sleep in Virgil's bed in a big pile too—and no one was willing to rupture the sanctity with things like arguments or fights.

Which is why, when all of the little munchkins clamored for Remy to come to a movie night, Virgil had a sneaking suspicion in might end this way.

All the kids had agreed on the movie beforehand—another rarity—settling on the new Puss in Boots movie that'd come out pretty recently. Remy had been sat on the outside of the couch at first, only for the kids to make, cajole, plead, and order him to come closer almost as soon as the movie started. Virgil had just chuckled and passed Patton over to sit on his lap, the others grabbing onto his arms, his hands, even his legs. He'd gone to the bathroom once they'd gotten to the forest and…

Well, he's come out to see his little ones absolutely sprawled over Remy.

Patton's still in his lap, his head on one shoulder. Somehow Janus has gotten there too, his arms wrapped around Remy's chest like a plushie. Roman is on his right, hand tangled in his hair, Logan on his left with a grip on his hand. Remus lays across his feet, snoozing away. God, Virgil loves them.

"Was this your ploy," Remy whispers as Virgil walks back over, the movie still playing quietly in the background, "to get me here and trap me with your adorable children?"

"No, but I can't say I'm too upset that it's happened."

"They're the cutest snare in the world."

"Mhm. And there's no escape from them."

Remy laughs as Virgil leans down to kiss him. "I'm not all that mad about it, now that I think about it."

Virgil smiles. "No. I'm not either."

[writingmochi]

! "untitled #3: writer's edition" tag game !

credits to that anon who gave an ask on @/fairyofshampgyu's blog + idk what to name it so i just do that instead lmao

rules: write your favorite thing you’ve written, the least favorite, and one you think deserved more hype! then also post a screenshot of your recently saved on pinterest (just so it looks pretty)

tagged by: smiles @boba-beom! you've been posting so much more fics i haven't keep up yet :") but thanks for tagging me! this is fun!

another episode of lissie, the breaker of the chain. also warning: profanity, i will fucking curse + don't mind me expanding it. still creds to that anon though. i freaking adore you for asking that

part 1. favorite work(s) i've written (aka @/writingmochi staple and a must-read for people who finds my blog for the first time [welcome, new followers! hope you enjoy them!]):

crossroads, a enhypen jay one-shot

still is the proudest fic i've ever written. very studio ghibli (according to @/jeongwins) and also very movie-like. @/orochxi melodramas got me in the feels to write this but this is more wholesome that viv's memento mori-coded fics lmao... fun fact: this is almost a nct chenle fic inspired by parasite (2019) hence the fish-out-of-water scenario

troubled pixies, a txt taehyun one-shot two-shot

definitely my favorite character-building-wise. the fact that i have to figure out not only mc + taehyun but also the sisters, their partners, and the sisters' parents' characteristics here is so complicated yet fun, especially how intricate it is. also currently my longest one-shot i've written (52k) that tumblr hates it so much, it has to be divided into two :") (also, this is one of @/boba-beom's fav fics. i've successfully infected her with 80s/90s songs hehehe) + istg mc here is a definite lux lisbon if she live in 90s instead of the 70s, complete with the chainsmoking and her taste in 90s alt songs

time wave, a txt yeonjun series

now, this is my favorite world-building-wise. i made haeyang this intricate place and setting with its supernatural aspect only some people get (you will know when you read). before writing this, i know i had to make a life is strange (2013) inspired au because it is one of my favorite story-based games of all time. and i’m proud that it kinda becomes its own self especially with my own twists on it. hope you are ready because the [redacted] spin-off will be posted around october! fun fact: this was supposed to be written for stray kids han

part 2. least favorite work i've written:

a story of two broken hearts, a enhypen jake series

i am still proud of this even though it is my least favorite!!!! why, you ask? because this is the first building block of my blog as a whole which is then continue with time wave's chapters as i honed my writing skill. it is the shortest one-shot currently (at 9k though which is still considered long-fic) but you could definitely sense my style even with that. and i don't wanna change it any other way... :]

part 3. work(s) that deserve more hype:

smirch, a txt and enhypen series

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD! THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAV FIC TO WORLD-BUILD AND I'M SO SAD THIS DOESN'T DESERVE MORE HYPE ABOUT IT! i made a social media au style of the characters' intro/profile and i also allow you guys to talk to them if you want and help with the world-building. please make their world grow so it can also motivate me to write this series! + this is a naughty teen series but not euphoria-esque, if you like skins uk especially gen 1 with tony, cassie, and a little bit of effy, please consider reading this :")

isobel, a txt soobin one-shot

this deserves more hype because tumblr let me down by not putting it in the tags aaaaaaaaaaaaa i re-post this 10 fucking times istg and ughhhh D: D: if you like magical realism or any of the genres written at the top, please consider reading it too

pizzeria run, a enhypen sunoo one-shot

the more time this fic is available on my blog, i have accumulated a few thoughts: (1) enhablr peeps are horny and like smut more than any other creative writing genre; (2) enhablr peeps don't read sunoo fics like they read heeseung/sunghoon/jungwon/niki's; and (3) enhablr peeps don't like anything except for romance. and that is sad to me because there are so many writers who write any topic other than romance or smut that is as great. so, if you want something different or if you like horror, do consider reading this one :D

part 4. recently saved pins on pinterest:

all of them are smirch post-episode updates! since the last entry is jay's, most of them are what happened to jay and mc after jay's episode (and one for heeseung's post-episode update). more pins will come soon as i make my moodboard for a few of my fics public!

tagging: my fellow writer mutuals @orochxi @impuritywritings @tyunlatte @heart2beom, my favorite seonghwa ateez writer @tenelkadjowrites and any other writers who want to join!

p.s. if someone tags me this tag game again when i've posted ateez fics, I'll definitely include one of them in here!

[theoneeyedgoldenwolf]

This ask is your chance to talk or rant about anything at all for as long as you want. Need inspiration? What is the nicest thing that happened to you today? What is your opinion about whatever media you've watched or read recently? Talk about your favorite character. Finish this sentence 'In a hole in the ground there lived...'

^.-

This ask took me so off guard that my mind locked up on me. XD So, on this case, I'm grateful of the given questions. ;)

Well, the day’s only starting for me but there’s definitely TWO things by now that I consider as nice things to have happened! =D 1) Comments on my story “The strength of the Hero’s Spirit” in AO3. ^.^ It’s always such delight to get comments! =D 2) Your ask! =)

Oh, that’s a good one. I’m happy of the media (both AO3 and Tumblr) so far as those are pretty much the only ones I’ve today checked. ^^;;

…..You sure about this one? O.o Okay, fine, I’ll talk about my fave character: This will be long, though. XD

The Hero of Time (Linked Universe version) So, everyone who has played Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask knows most of things about him. He’s even in Hyrule Warriors so he’s like handled three quests for certain before Linked Universe. And, to make things even further, he’s in Twilight Princess as Hero’s Shade.

Going by all that, Link has gone through lot of hell due to constant time changes. He’s had to go through hell and back again at WAY too young age. - The result of his first quest is undoing everything so, in overall, he’s not even titled as a Hero. =( - The result of his second quest is numbness as he’s undone everything so freaking many times just to get everything done correctly. And each time he’s reset the time loop, everyone forgets him while he remembers it all. - So, on his third quest, he’s not really wanting to get close with anyone. Obviously, the Hero of Warriors does get through to him and when they’re separated after the war…. That does NOT work well with the Hero of Time and Termina. >.<

- Fourth quest, obviously, is Linked Universe and we’re still to see how that goes for him. ^^;; - Fifth quest is after his passing. The Hero of Twilight needs his help and all. And, at any given point, the Hero of Time doesn’t give himself out (that info came from the Hyrule Historia). So, what is known so far is that Hero of Twilight knows him but Hero of Time only has figured out connections between the two of them. Somehow I doubt Hero of Twilight gave everything out when he talked with Hero of Time and Malon in the Malon arc of the comic. So, I doubt Hero of Time knows what’s up in his future considering his blood relative. And Malon does mention the fact that they’ll have kids and their kids will have kids which really shows that there are at least few generations between Hero of Time and Hero of Twilight even though they’re blood related.

Now, headcanons for the guy. XD

- Hero of Time (aka Time for easier going) has been rather raised by the fairies and hence learned their language. The Kokiri and the Great Deku Tree obviously had part in this too but the fairies have been there 24/7 all around him, looking after him, teaching him and everything. -> Due to the constant fairy dust, Time’s normal magic ended up replaced by Fairy Magic. He can’t learn magics the normal way. He didn’t even have magic to begin with. The Great Fairies taught him Fire, Wind and Protection even though those are named after the three Golden Goddesses. Time learned Ice by getting the ice arrows at Gerudo Fortress and coming up with an idea of his own to learn the actual magic. He cut his hand and kinda just snatched the magic off of the arrow and stored it within himself. That which was too much and overflowing, he struck out and hence calmed things out. Same is with Light which he got in the form of Light Arrows from Princess Zelda (or was it in the Ganon’s Castle or bit before that, don’t fully recall). Anyway, same way. --> Due to the magic not being his own, Time can end up hurt by his own magic. This is due to overusing one specific magic. He needs to swap it every now and then to prevent trouble. Too much fire and he overheats. Too much ice and he gets hypothermia. In the worst case, all of his magics strike and he can end up killed by that. So far he’s been lucky to survive few of this kind of rough situations. Considering this, fairies and fairy magic will be very harmful to him if things go into him getting all Fairy Magics of his going against him. (Time’s gone through this at least once in my stories.) ---> Considering this, the others can get “allergic” to Fairy Magic too. Usually at then there’s been too many of fairies used to heal and they’ve become immune to their work. Luckily, this situation passes if the one affected keeps away from fairies and Fairy Magic. (Legend had the unfortunat situation of having had this in one of my stories.)

- Time is aware of Hero of Hyrule being a fairy. He can see Hyrule’s glow which he’s dubbed at “Forest green, bit lighter than moss”. -> Time has very slight glow too which is a mix of all three fairy companions of his (Navi, Tatl, Proxi). Hyrule can see it on him. --> Time, like Hyrule, bit sheds Fairy Magic whole time. The duo, unlike all the other Heroes of their Chain, can’t wash the excessive magic off. It’s fully part of them.

- Time knows the clock precisely. He gained this ability at Termina. Originally I thought it was just because of doing everything again and again so many times that he just became aware of the time. Yet, in one my stories (which I will be uploading soon), I actually came up with a working idea. Time ended up touching one of the clocks he fell past when he reset the time. -> Time doesn’t know the week date, week or date number or such. He can, I think, not yet fully sure, be capable of knowing how many days has gone past but if you asked if it was Monday or Wednesday, he wouldn’t know. Or at least it would take a while for him to count and figure things out. Kinda like… “Okay, it was Tuesday like 120 hours ago so, um…. It’s actually Sunday, I think…?” --> Still, considering about that, there’s something Time’s very in tune with. No matter how the portals go or whatever time of the day or season they’re dropped into, Time’s the one whom knows the actual time of the day. He’s the one whom can help his boys to get adjust into things. I’ve never gone through it but I think this could be put down as a jetlag. ;) ---> Also, considering above stuff, Time’s the only one whom can keep up with the notion of whenever there’s one’s birthday or celebrational dates coming up no matter where they are. Hence he’s able to know, for example, the equinoxes and such. - The funny thing is that the longer the Chain gets used to Time knowing the clock and such, the harder it is for them if for some reason Time’s not there with them to give them the info. XD It’ll be even harder when they return to their own eras and timelines after the quest and they can’t get the info of clock or such from Time anymore.

- Originally Time wasn’t going to have anything from the War of Eras with him since Hero of Warriors kept that of good care of him. Yet, for one story, I came up with a knife. And ever since that’s been what he gained from meeting with the guy whom he considers as his older brother. The knife’s special too. Warriors got the counterpart to it. ;) -> The knives got Fairy Language within them with one side having the word “Sprite” and other side “Wars”. They have enchantment of staying sharp and unbreakable. When the blades are put together with tip of the weapon pointing at the handle of the other weapon, a picture comes up. Depending on which one’s knife is below, the picture is different. It is kinda like saying “This is my memory of you.”. For Wars it’s an actual photo they took during the war at calmer moment with the duo (him and Sprite) having fun and being happy. For Time it’s an actual memory of him having been wrapped fully into Wars’ scarf as back then he really could be bundled into it thoroughly. It was one of very rare safe places for him.

- Time is physically around 35 years (I think that’s what most agree upon) but that’s not the reality. His ways are for much younger every now and then. And he does look so much younger when he’s happy and smiling. So, I’d say he’s not much older than the oldest of the eight which would be around 20 or so. And yet, by mind, I fear he might be actually older. He’s gone through being ten and 17 during his first quest. He’s been in the form of adults (Fierce Deity, Darmani III and Mikau). He’s been forced to grow up too fast at too young age. All of those certainly has left an imprint in him with both experiences and knowledge. I bet the Spirits of the Masks have tried NOT to share as much as they have unintentionally giving him but, yeah…. I think he was bit too young to know some things at there. ^^;;

- The Transformation Masks he has are said to share the regrets and feelings but not in my version. For me they share far more than just feelings. It’s equal for the three main ones but Fierce is a deity. Fierce has far more control over things but even he can’t prevent the information from being shared. What they share is what Time shares in return. Body for life, ability for ability, memories for memories. The Spirits do try not to leave an imprint in him and Fierce aids to prevent such from happening. The reason it still hurts like hell to Time whenever he needs to use the masks, is the literal transformation from one species into another. Even Fierce is taller than Time so there’s a real change in his body with that transformation. -> Time can talk with the Spirits of the Masks through mind. He does have conversations with them now and then and he can ask for their aid whenever needed. --> The Spirits of the Masks are capable of becoming solid and come to aid Time if needed. It takes a lot from them but they care about him so much that they’ll do whatever they’re capable of to protect him and his family. Usually it’s Fierce who appears as he’s a deity and having most of chances of doing unique things. It’s also him whom aids the others to gain solid form if they really need to fight for Time.

- Time is only one to call Warriors as Wars as Warriors is only one to call Time as Sprite. -> Time has a nickname for all of his boys and I’ve already given those out within my stories so far. =) - Twilight = Cub, Wild = Rascal, Wind = Pirate, Sky = Bird, Four = Mousekin, Hyrule = Pixie, Legend = Specialist

- Time REALLY hates the nickname of Mask. ^^;; I know many puts that as his nickname but I can’t help but think about the Moon Children with one of them asking about him wearing a mask and what’s his real face. Link wasn’t wearing a mask. He’s a kid to whom the word “mask” means exactly that. He learned far later that such word means more than the actual item. And hence, he’s not happy with that nickname. -> Warriors uses this nickname only when he really needs to get Time snapped out of his mind. It’s a damn powerful thing. Can even go against Ganon’s or Wizzrobe’s or such being’s work of mind control or such. XD --> Time’s unconscious reply is a rough shout of “Don’t call me that!” usually continued by either swears or some more roughness. ---> Wars’ reply into that is usually “Then listen to your older brother, damn it!”

- As it is already known from Twilight Princess, his Spirit form is the Golden Wolf. =) -> Considering this, it’s already known that Twilight’s Wolfie and Legend’s the pink rabbit. Also, I’m going with the idea of Hyrule being a half-fairy and hence fairy’s his form. I’m not yet certain of the list but so far I’ve come up with the next: - Wars = Lynx, Sky = Cucco (or cheetah), Wild = Squirrel, Wind = Parrot or a Monkey, Four = Mouse (not sure of this one)

- Time is VERY caring and loving. His love language is touch. Hugs and kisses (side of head, forehead, top of head) are what he’s giving almost unconsciously. -> Considering this, sadly, Time himself is touch starved. =( He gives, yeah, but he doesn’t really gain such back. And, let’s face it, fairies are very affectionate little beings. Time got used to being touched lovingly by the fairies so when that’s gone…. He doesn’t really know how to ask for such. He seeks for closeness but he doesn’t ask for it. It comes out in the way of sitting down next to Wars or Twilight or someone else. It’s little but at least it’s something. --> Part of this, I think, is the fact of him playing the part of stoic leader and acting like all’s fine.

- Time did end up revealing this in one of my stories, though. ^^;;

- Due to Termina, Time had very keen eyes. He learned to stay silent and just listen and watch so he began to pick up on small things that gave far more information than words ever could. He picks up the notions of how the others are and what the atmosphere around them feels like. He can figure out even slightest of limps. It is how he knows which of his boys is actually needing someone to be there for them in the form of listening or a shoulder to cry on or such.

- Time is strong, even without the Golden Gauntlets. He could give one hell of a challenge to Twilight in arm wrestling. I mean, he has to be strong as he wields the Biggoron Sword.

- Time can be rough and cruel too if needed. Yet, this only comes out when his family is in danger. He would NEVER hurt his family for any of reason which is why he’s not one that enemies can actually get him to do their bidding through mind control. Still, Time’s actions and words can be really evil if he’s pushed into the situation. Nonetheless, even when his hits seem actually cruel and devastating, the damage he actually inflicts, is far from how it seems. He just can’t freaking kill. (I mean, come on, you shoot arrows into the head of the Gerudo Guards in OoT and they’re only knocked out?!?) -> Yet, Time does kill if there’s no other choice. And that hits HARD. =( He will be feeling sick afterwards. He will regret his actions. He won’t be forgiving himself easily. Taking a life just isn’t part of who he is. --> Though, he has NO trouble at all in killing monsters. XD

- Time knows how to do a potion of sorts called Fairy Salve. It’s usually used to help fairies but it can also help him quite a much as his magic is fairy based. He wasn’t aware of this until Hyrule gave that out. Or, well, Wars explained to him what Hyrule had told. -> Due to the way its created and considering its name, the fairies are incapable of doing or using them. It would overflow the fairy magic within it and hence render them useless. Time’s only having the magic and slight bit of fairy dust around him so it’s different for him than to Hyrule.

- Time is very self-sacrificing idiot. -.-‘ He will give himself up for any member of his family without second thought. He is going by the line of “Rather me than anyone else.” =(

- Considering above, Time also has the highest pain tolerance out of the whole Chain. =/ He’s gone through absolute hell in the hands of the Gerudo as he prevented the Imprisoning War by giving himself up to them. -> I know it’s said that the Lost Woods turns people into Stalfos if they get lost in there and that’s kinda how Time turns into Hero’s Shade. Yet, I put it down that the magic for such to happen is already at there. It’s a curse that was placed into him by the twin witches of Kotake and Koume while being the captive by the Gerudo and it wasn’t possible of fully being taken out of him.

- Whenever they end up into timeline / era which is Time’s in a way or another, he’s sharing knowledge with his counterpart and vice versa. It happens if both of the Hero of Times are alive and in there. Otherwise it doesn’t happen but Time gets bit of heads-up of things but nothing of too cruel in the way of flashes and/or conversations. -> This has come up several times by now in my stories. - The others are less aware of their counterparts but they do get feelings and slight knowledge but not a full blown information exchange like Time does.

- Time gets prophecies. It’s never good ones and sometimes it really strikes him HARD. Yet, each time he’s up for changing the outcome of those as well as he’s capable of.

…………Hmmm… I think that’s as much as I can come up with for Time so far. ^^;; I might actually do something like this for Time from my Ranch Family, the Modern Linked Universe stories of mine, eventually.

Finishing a sentence…. Okay, you actually gave me a story idea by this. XD

“In a hole in the ground there lived a small dragon.”

More comes when I write the story idea down and figure out how to continue from there. ;)

The Wendigo Forest | Chapter 1: We Meet Again

Summary | Preview | Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

Pairing: Strange Supreme X Female!Reader

Genre: Thriller, Action, Romance, Tragedy

A Sequel to Strawberry Blues

Summary: An old enemy of Doctor Strange has returned to the dimension where no magic or heroes exist. A dimension ripe for the picking. Nightmare soon discovers your connection to the dark Sorcerer Supreme. Will Nightmare finally get his revenge on Stephen? Will Stephen be able to make it in time to save you from the same fate that took his sister?

Based on the scrapped DSMOM concept provided by the awesome @luvsvpreme, here is the link to the post.

It had been two months since you last saw Stephen. Since that day, you couldn’t get him out of your head, you went out with your friends to festivals to see if you could find him. Unfortunately, you couldn’t spot him, so then you resorted to the internet. Your friend helped you look through different sites and ways to track him but with just his name and appearance, not much was found. You became nervous and sad that you were not able to find him until your friend suggested dating apps. 

You instantly began looking but couldn’t find him. Your friend nudged you further to at least go on a date, she told you that if you and Stephen were meant to be, the universe would find a way. So here you were on a Friday night, standing in front of the mirror. You put on a blue cocktail asymmetrical half-sleeve tulle dress. You checked yourself a few times, making different poses and trying to pick matching shoes. 

You finally settled for silver heels, and a silver clutch, and tied your hair in a half updo. You put your makeup on and put on red lipstick. The lipstick complimented the dress perfectly and you smiled at how you looked. You took a deep breath, headed out the door, and got into your car. Your date’s name was Kevin and he is a financial advisor and was super sweet during your text conversations. He chose a fancy restaurant and sent you a picture of his tuxedo. You were excited but you were nervous about how he would think about you. 

You stepped into the restaurant and found a booth table. The waiter set the menus down and got you a glass of water. You texted Kevin where you were and immediately looked up when you saw him come to the table. “Wow...You’re gorgeous.” Kevin smiled sweetly at you and sat across from you. 

“Thank you, you look good in a tux.” You smiled bashfully. 

The two of you began to talk about each other. You delved into your work and career. You stopped midway when you saw him yawn. “Sorry, long day at work.” Kevin apologized when he noticed your silence. 

“It’s okay, let’s talk about something else.” You smiled.

Kevin asked you about your hobbies and your love life. He liked hiking and loved sports, his most recent girlfriend was three months ago. When you asked why they break up, he stated she was too busy for him. That made you nervous. You told him about your hobbies and that it had been a while since your last relationship. “So what you’re super picky with your guys?” Kevin asked taking a sip of his champagne. 

“Shouldn’t everyone be picky?” You raised a brow.

“I mean, sure, but if you’re always picky, you’ll be alone.” 

“I guess...” 

“How many dates have you been on?” 

“Not many. Work is keeping me busy.” 

“I see...I hope it’s not rude to ask but...How far do you go on the first date?” Kevin eyed you, his gaze moving from your face to your breasts. 

You felt your cheeks heat up at his stare and shook your head, “Just a date. I like to take my time.” 

Kevin looked back at your face and nodded, “I respect that.” 

Did he though? You thought. “Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” You stood up and walked past the booth heading toward the bathroom. You sighed in frustration, this date was not going as expected. 

You made it to the bathroom and took a shaky deep breath and looked at yourself in the mirror. You saw tears beginning to form. 

Shit! 

You took another deep breath and took out a tissue to dab the tears away. You then texted your friend for advice on what to say to leave the date. She told you to stick it out and see if talking about sports might change the mood of the date. You rolled your eyes and decided to look up some opening sports conversation since you had no interest in it. You turned your phone off and out of the bathroom. 

When you came out of the bathroom and made your way to the booth. Along the way, you stopped and your eyes grew wide at what you saw. There was Kevin sitting at another table with a black-haired man, a blonde woman, and a brunette woman. He was laughing at their conversation and playing with the blonde woman’s hair. You pursed your lips in a thin line and stormed past the table, not wanting to cause a scene. 

But Kevin saw you and immediately got up and made his way back. You stopped when you got to your table and felt your heart skip a beat. At your table was a man in a tuxedo suit, you thought you’d never seen before. It was Stephen...Or maybe he looked like Stephen? You didn’t want to get too excited. The man looked up from the table and smiled sweetly. 

Yup. That was Stephen. 

“I’m so sorry for being late.” He said softly and you gave him a sad smile. He gestured for you to sit back in your spot and you did. You weren’t sure how to react or respond. Your heart was torn seeing him again. Your red lips parted to say something but you were interrupted when Kevin came to the table. 

“Hey sorry, she was a friend of mine...Oh...Guess you’re good, huh?” Kevin began to say then scoffed. 

“She is fine now, thank you.” Stephen glared at him. 

You looked down at the menu, trying to ignore everything. Stephen’s eyes flashed red as he stared at Kevin and Kevin didn’t say anything, he turned around and walked away. Stephen relaxed and looked back at you, his eyes only on you. “I’m so sorry...About...Disappearing.” 

“It’s okay.” You said, your voice cracked using all your strength not to cry, and hid your face in the menu. 

Stephen felt his heart ache to hear your voice crack and leaned over to gently pull the menu down. “Oh, darling...” He said seeing the tears in your eyes. 

“Sorry...Sorry, this night has just been...I don’t know...I’m sorry...I’m a mess.” You said over and over trying to stop the tears from falling. You set the menu down and stood up quickly. You rushed out of the restaurant, the tears not stopping.

 You made it to your car and opened your purse to find your keys. You felt hands on your shoulders and you were spun around. Your face was pulled to the person’s chest and arms were wrapped around you. “You’re not a mess. There is nothing to be sorry about.” The person said you quickly realized it was Stephen. You buried your face in his chest and sobbed softly. 

Stephen moved his hands to cup your face and his thumbs wiped your tears away, “Why don’t we go somewhere quiet and catch up, hm?” 

You nodded and pulled back to unlock your car. The two of you got in and you drove back to your house. 

You stepped into your home and kicked off your heels. Stephen stepped in right behind you and shut and locked your door. Stephen stepped toward you and pulled you close to him. He rested his hands on your hips and pressed his forehead against yours. “I missed you so much...” You said softly and moved your hands to gently cup his cheeks. 

“I’m so sorry darling,” Stephen whispered. 

You pulled back and gently pecked his cheek. Stephen turned his head to capture your lips in a slow and tender kiss. You kissed him back and wrapped your arms around his neck. Stephen pulled back slowly and smiled at you. “No more tears, I’m here now.” You nodded and smiled sweetly at him. He pulled you in for another deep kiss. 

You soon found yourself in your bedroom on the bed with your head resting on Stephen’s chest. You switched from your dress and makeup to a hoodie, sweatpants, and messy bun. Stephen had removed his tux jacket, and bow tie and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. His arms were wrapped around you and pressed kisses along your head. You closed your eyes and fell asleep. 

You two hadn’t caught up completely but right now you didn’t care. His scent, his words, and his affections comforted you. You fell into a deep sleep thanks to his magic. Stephen smiled softly, seeing your sleeping face. The hairs on the back of his neck raised and he turned around to see the tall being standing at the foot of the bed. 

“Watcher.” Stephen hissed. 

“Relax Strange...I am here to warn you.” The being said. 

“What now?” Stephen rolled his eyes. 

“About your affairs in this dimension. Don’t. Get comfortable. You will put her in danger.” The Watcher gestured to you. 

“Leave her alone.” Stephen held you tighter. 

“I’m just warning you, Stephen. I know your feelings for her are strong and I want you to be happy. But remember what happened in your own universe...And remember the lie you’re telling her.” The Watcher looked at the sorcerer. 

Stephen was quiet at that, he had no intention of revealing his identity to you. He stroked your hair back and gently pecked your forehead. 

“Be careful Stephen...” The Watcher then disappeared. 

Stephen brushed off the Watcher’s warning or tried to at least. His focus was on you and helping you sleep. Stephen rested his head on the pillow and stroked your hair softly as he closed his eyes. 

Meanwhile, a large black wolf appeared in an alleyway with red eyes. The canine raised his nose in the air and began to sniff. A growl escaped his lips and the animal bared his teeth. “Stephen Strange...” He growled. He had finally found the sorcerer’s scent. And after all these years...He can get his revenge.

[nomsfaultau]

(Not) Daily ask №32

I really don't think that I can keep up the 5 questions every single day thing. Procrastination gets the better of me : (

Isekai edition!

1. What is your favourite universe? Like a favourite show, game, book, etc.

2. What are your 3 favourite characters from that universe?

3 What is your favourite time period of the universe? Ex. Pogtopia arc for dsmp, an episode of a show, a scene from a book.

4. What is your favourite antagonist/villain from that universe?

5. BOOM fault crew gets into your favourite universe, in your favourite time period of the show, with your favourite characters finding them first and then they meet your favourite antagonist. How does that go?

There is completely no obligation to do anything ever, buddy. 

1.Really hard to look past the haze of Fault that’s been my brain for years. That said, I’ve been having an INSANELY good time with Taz vs Dracula recently. Essentially it’s a DND campaign where they go through a wacky gothic horror setting that’s very heavy on the comedy, all in the name of defeating Dracula. It incorporates a lot of free domain characters, so like Pinocchio, Mickey Mouse, King Arthur, the invisible man show up (or doesn’t, he’s a flakey POS). All with some crazy twist of course ofcours. Absolute blast. 

And no read more line because I’m proselytizing for this podcast now okay ok. 

2. Lady Godwin. She’s a posh old lady who got run over by Dracula and the Wolf Man (who is a bad influence on Dracula). She had a Frankenstein life policy but it got shut down due to bad business practice, and her head got stuck on a barbarian lady’s body. On top of that severe body dysphoria, Lady Godwin gets bitten by a were-horse and gets transported to the mental realm of Oats on occasion. She’s prim and huffy and goes into destructive rages. Perfect woman. 

Thumbs. Thumbs is a were-orangutan DJ for the Wolf Man’s nightclub, since he’s the only one with thumbs. There’s supposed to be a spell that allows everyone to communicate with one another, but he just speaks in monkey noises. Notably is banned from pushing the big red button on his DJ set up. BUt ooooooh man. Wants to. Deserves to. (this destroyed the were-house were-nightclub)

An. He’s an almost dead god of night with a dedicated cult and the Sword in the Stone jammed through his skull, pinning him in spot because evil cults don’t tend to have a lot of people pure of heart and rightful king of England material? Who knew. He’s so suave and has a major superiority complex and is so so so overtly evil but the DND party is just so chill about debating whether or not to free him. But An has searched all of the land to find the most Pure of Heart….and landed on Brother Phileaux, the monk currently sharing a Pinocchio body with THE Van Helsing. Who is an absolute little freak, mind, so I have absolutely zero idea why he’s trying to (in his own words) 4D chess manipulate Phileaux when he is pure by no one’s standards and also very dumb. It’s very hard to be a gaslight gatekeep girlbosser when dealing with stupid adventurers. Poor guy. He dies due to the redneck Mutt becoming the casual King of England, a reverse knock knock joke and the Toby Slayer*, and a cross that the interim-temporary Turbo Cardinal stole once. 

3. Episode 16 is my favorite part. Literally howling the entire time. Acquiring the Toby Slayer*, a legendary sword that obliterates anyone named Toby with. Yes this means they spend the rest of the campaign trying to name people Toby (nicknames, telling an amnesiac their name is Toby, shortening Turbo Cardinal to Toby (works because one of them is the king of England via authoritarian legends). They kill a god using the Toby slayer. This all happened because the DM tried to give last minute flavor text to a loot item. Casually water boarding the severed head of a Dracula clone while discussing if they could raise him to be the ‘good Dracula’. Meeting a crazy fish monster man with a basketball wife named Elizabeth, who is a druid that only turns into sports items. Taking a break from a revenge quest to play the sickest game of volleyball ever using said sports druid. Lady Godwin randomly biting a severed ear. The ENTIRE inventory situation of Phileaux, including teeth from a sea monster, said severed ear, and LITERALLY HIS OWN DEAD BODY SHRUNKEN DOWN INTO A LITTLE VILE. The offhand discussion about if Phileaux should make a flesh homunculous using spare Dracula clone parts. I think this TAZ episode made me laugh the most, though the Steeplechase campaign where they went on the trashiest dating show ever was so choice too. Schlebethany my beloved….

4. DRACULA. Oh my god he’s soooooooo fun. Might be my favorite villain ever. Absolute love to hate character, except he’s so funny and charismatic that it’s hard to hate him even though like terrible evil dude. But he’s also a complete dork, and cringes about his ‘wizard phase’ and opines about how everyone wants to kill him :( so rude. He had a toxic BFF relationship with the Wolf Man but had to cut him out for being a ‘bad influence’ (HE IS DRACULA THIS MAN IS THE WORST). He helps Mutt (protag) pull out his fangs to make earrings. All of his clones insist they’re ‘the good’ Dracula. Dracula had an unrequited romantic relationship with Dr. Frankenstein, and is now in a love triangle with him and another Dracula clone, who wants to kill OG Drac for breaking Frankenstein’s heart. He is a staunch supporter of the fine arts. So far I think he might be trying to mind control an entire town/end the world (?) via evil airpods because he can’t get one song out of his head from when he was a kid. And also so he doesn’t have to drink blood anymore because it’s yucky >.<

Like. Just listen to him:

“Dear diary.

How come everybody wants to kill Dracula?

I mean, the people whose villages I’ve razed to the ground, whose family trees I’ve so thoroughly pruned, them I understand. But how did my vulnerabilities become the topic of casual dinner table conversation? I don’t talk about the weaknesses of mortal men, and Lord knows I could. I may be biased, but it seems these days that haters are coming at me left, right, and center…(enter SICK MUSIC RIFF)

5.Tubbo will get obliterated. No help for it. The SECOND the DND party finds out their name, the Toby Slayer is going to come out. Thems the rules. Or they’d try, but the Fault crew would step in and then the DND party would be really chill and laid-back, brushing off the murder attempt while everyone else is freaking out. Tubbo would probably try to convince Phileaux to work more with Van Helsing on the semi system thing. Overall freaked out about how casual murder is here. Second, Wilbur is having a bad time due to the permanent eternal night upon the land. Oh well. Flashlights may or may not exist, since we have both horse-drawn carriages and Honda elontras show up? Good luck lmao. Phileaux could probably cast light on a pointed Pinocchio hat for him. But would be wayyy too interested in getting samples from the void. Tommy thinks it’s spooky as hell. Maybe Elizabeth could teach him the cantrip Shape Water, which would solve 99% of his problem if he can artificially control Red. Wait. And he can touch Brother Phileaux! That’s big for him, until Phileaux says something offputting and oh muffin that wasn’t a joke- The Blade is really vibing with Mutt, since, ranger. They’re also very blunt and straight forward characters. And he’d love Lady Agatha (dog). Probably Lady Godwin too for their similar rage modes, but the comments about curvaceousness would make him awkward. I really really really want Philza to party with the Wolf Man. But the auto killing any non were-person would be a damper on the relationship. And Philza isn’t at random haha murder philosophy atm, so would probably not hang even if he can pass. Ah wait forgot he’s super duper beheaded by this point of the series, moot point. He can definitely gel with Lady Godwin and Elizabeth about getting lost in the sauce re: body, be it the plane of horses, basketballs, or dragons. 

Now I could go on and on about how the existence of monsters casually in society both as threats and friends would drastically be eye opening for the Fault guys, etc etc, however they’re in the middle of a swamp at the moment. 

As for plot: The Blood God would be extremely hyped about the cult of the Buried Blood! …until he finds out it isn’t about him. Booo what kind of god gets half murdered? Loser. I figure the Fault crew would pick up An’s rank vibes way more than the DND party bothered to act on, the manipulation is pretty blatant. Tubbo is absolutely fuming about not being pure of heart, and that the random redneck did it through the power of rats. Tommy is desperate to become the king of England, and is infuriated because none of the DND guys know what England even is. 

Probably a lot less impressive to kill a god when you have like 3 on your team, but-

Everyone is down on the killing Dracula thing. Even Tubbo I think, given how evil he is. Would prefer a different method! But it’s looking like world ending stakes so maybe it’s okay. As for actually meeting the real OG Dracula? The campaign hasn’t gotten there, so I can’t even guess. But the fact both universes have potentially world ending songs is really funny. Based on vibes, Philza, Tommy, and The Blade think Dracula is absolutely great and kinda forget they’re there to kill him. Philza definitely sympathetic on the curse of immortality thing. Dracula doesn’t pass Wilbur’s vibe check at all, thinks he’s sleezy, and Tubbo can see way too much of the mind control stuff happening to brush it off. Like if they can manage to hate friendly Philza the charisma isn’t going to mean much. 

Probably ends up trying to suck Tommy’s blood, getting Red’d, and having the most balls to the walls insane fight scene ever. Man I can’t wait for the finale.

Idk if you've been asked this recently (very sorry if have, feel free to just delete this), but do you have any tips for creating your own pantheon? I'm currently trying to make one for my own fantasy world (that could easily become just my own personal pantheon to work with as a witch), but I keep hitting roadblocks. Mainly due to the fact that I want them to have multiple domains (ideally 3-4 things they're considered to be connected with) but, like, how do I know which ones? How do I decide their symbolism? Do they have holy tenants they would like their followers to adhere to?

Basically, I get very overwhelmed trying to create the small details before I really even have the big details and it's very frustrating. Any advice? Or maybe just a list of details that need to be known/created first. I don't even know at this point.

Heya!! :D I do have some tips and links that might be able to help in this regard!

When I was first making/working with The Jeweled Court I found this discussion by @thiscrookedcrown to be the most helpful thing ever! Here's more info from a previous ask I answered that goes into some more detail about how I made my pantheon! As for details to know/ think about:

This is a lot so I'mma cut it to save your dash :'D

Step 1: BARE BONES- WHO ARE THEY? One thing that really helped me was deciding what "element" my god/desses would reside over first. I had 12 elements and 10 gods to work with so from there it was just divvying up who got what. That being said YES there are STILL some overlaps. The link/discussion by @thiscrookedcrown was the most helpful to me here as it talked about Realms of Influence which helped me get things into perspective when figuring out who everyone was. Example: +The Sapphire Queen is my Goddess of the Oceans +The Pearl Empress is my Goddess of Freshwater/Lakes and Rivers Both are technically water based but The Sapphire Queen is the one who I associate the most with Water as an element because Oceans are just that much bigger than lakes and rivers.

Example: +The Sapphire Queen's realm of influence includes Travel (By Boat) +Lord Diamond God of Wind's realm of influence also includes Travel (By Land) Example: +The Emerald God is the God of the Harvest (Food related) +The Pearl Empress is the Goddess of the Harvest (Season related) AND HEY: It's okay if there is overlap! There is nothing wrong with overlap just as long as you can know at a glance who goes with what.

Step 2: BROAD DETAILS- GROUPING THINGS TOGETHER So that was my first real step in piecing it all together. So once I got my Elements placed with my Gods I went further into ANYTHING that could be associated with that element (granted this took me a long time to iron out and a lot of musing and thinking 'Oh hey that might be cool for XYZ' Example: +The Gold Knight- God of the Sun and Elemental Master of Light +Lord Ruby- God of the Hearth and Elemental Master of Flames

Both of these guys have Candles as part of their associations as candles have both Flame and produce Light. HOWEVER: Bonfires would be ONLY for Lord Ruby as it is definitely more flame related and Lanterns would be ONLY for The Gold Knight as they are there to produce light. Something else I found really helpful was to go by Aesthetics and what felt right/seemed right for each god/dess. (The Pearl Empress got a lot of fruit associations this way as she's a Goddess of seasons)

Step 3: SYMBOLISM- +AESTHETICS GALORE+ Since my Pantheon is partially Pop Culture inspired I had a base starting point for what I could count as symbols for several of my god/desses.

Example: +The Silver Lady- Goddess of the Moon and Elemental Master of Space (a very loose interpretation from Princess/Neo Queen Serenity from Sailor Moon. Thus from that I was able to start with a basic idea of symbolic things)

Associated with:The Stars, Navigation, Darkness, The Moon, Hope Other Names: Serenity, Luna,Selene Symbols: (Most things found/referenced in the Manga/anime) Rabbits Crescent Moon Rhinestones Compasses  Lotus blossoms Dresses Cats Crystals Sweets Star Candy Opal Moonstone Silver

Colors: (When choosing Colors I got a flash of the Silver Millennium Kingdom set against the backdrop of space) Dark Blues Deep Purples Silver White Mythical Animals: Pegasus (Helios Reference)

So for those particular God/desses it was easier and from that base I was able to have similar ideas for the other gods who weren't from other pop culture. Some were very basic/bare bones for a long time.

Example: +The Obsidian Emperor

Death, Protection, Spirit

Associated with:

Smithing, Metalwork, Death, Omens, Divination, Mining

Other Names: N/A

Symbols:

Chains

Metallic colors

Metal Jewlery

Hammer

Shield

Raven

Bones

Pendulumns

So don't worry if you don't have the exact specifics right away. Building is a long journey and discovering things as you go along is part of the fun :)

Step 4: RELATIONSHIPS- TOUGH LOVE OR GENTLE GUIDE? Using your current base from steps 1-3 can help identify what kind of personality they might exhibit. If you still feel stumped feel free to lean on an alignment chart for guidance!

From learning HOW your god/dess acts you can then figure out what kinds of people will follow them.

Example: +The Gold Knight- God of the Sun and Keeper of Justice +Lord Diamond- God of Wind and Trickster Deity

A thief would most likely follow Lord Diamond's teachings than The Gold Knight's.

Now you can move into how to followers might show reverence to the gods by looking through your symbols and their personalities.

Example: +Princess Amethyst- Goddess of Time and Knowledge: Followers often wear necklaces that contain sand in them to represent an hourglass +The Sapphire Queen- Followers will carve hair ornaments out of driftwood to wear showing their devotion.

Step 5: DEPICTIONS- WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

This step was hard for me, for a while they had no real forms but I decided that had to change and so I made designs for them keeping everything from the previous steps in mind. The drawing was the easy part once I had all my ducks in a row ^^

From Top to Bottom: Princess Amethyst, Lord Diamond, The Emerald God, The Gold Knight, The Obsidian Emperor, The Pearl Empress, Princess Rose Quartz, The Sapphire Queen and The Silver Lady

And to shamelessly plug my own story

This whole group is featured along with a lot of their world building/lore in my story Fragments of Magic: Shards of Allunatia Book 1.

[frogprincesnowglobe]

I was tagged by @missmeganlee and @simonsapelsin for this tag game! Thanks guys I love this stuff so much. Also, Meg you fenced saber? How cool is that! And Simonsapelsin I'm curious about the naughty cat. Need naughty cat details for sure.

Where were you born? Southern California, USA

Are you named after anyone? My name was kind of meant to sound similar to one of my dad's great aunts, the same kind of vibe at least. My middle name is in honor of the baby girl my parents had before me, who didn't live long. It was her middle name too. And my mom liked it because it's a flower name (my middle name) like my Grandma had.

What's your eye colour? Brown

What sports do you play/used to play? I dabbled in dance as a kid, and I did a little horse riding in my early 20's but nothing really stuck.

Favourite subject in school? I liked English the most, sometimes social studies. I read a lot as a kid so English was pretty great. I really disliked that we had to wait and "no reading ahead" was commonly brought up. I wanted to get passionate about the books and keep going with them. But it was my favorite for sure. Don't ask me about math.

How tall are you? I'm not sure? I was told 5'5 1/2 years ago but when I had to have crutches last year the nurses claimed I had to be taller because the crutches height for 5'5/5'6 didn't work. I had them measure me recently and they said 5'4. So...5'4--5'5?

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I'm very sarcastic. I like one liners and stuff as well.

What's the first thing you notice about people? Probably their hair and outfit.

Scary movies or happy endings? I prefer happy endings. I used to watch loads of scary movies but I can't anymore. I want good, happy endings. :D

Any special talents? I can crochet really well, if that counts.

What are your hobbies? I love baking and watching historical baking and cooking videos. I also enjoy reading, I collect antique and vintage books (particularly mysteries), sometimes geocaching is cool. Crochet, I used to collect dolls and I'm getting back into that. Video games. But I'm not really consistent, stuff comes and goes in waves. My main hobby is currently blogging about this little show from Sweden about this prince and......

When was the last time you cried? Today. I had some tears well up. I had a good cry yesterday too.

Do you have pets? I have a Turtle named Leonardo. Leo has been my buddy for 15 1/2 years. I also have a black kitty with a little white tummy named Snoopy. She was a relative's cat who I've taken in after they passed away. She is very spoiled and has recently become much more open and showing a really strong personality.

Do you have kids? No kids currently. My brother has plans though so aunt duties in the future!

Dream job? Same as Megan. I'm not sure but I need something where I can make my own schedule and be creative. No desk job please, I get bored easily.

I'm going to Tag These lovely people who can do it if they feel like (no pressure but I love hearing about you)

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

Name five things you're passionate about.

:D

In no particular order…

1. Music! Lyrics, sounds, ukulele, whatever!! MUSIC!!! I LOVE MUSIC!!! I COULD TALK FOR SO LONG ABOUT MUSIC!!! MUSIC MY BELOVED!!!

2. Dream SMP (hehe) I loooove rambling about this crazy fandom so much <3

3. Star Wars! I was talking about Star Wars with my brother a few days ago and it reminded me of how much I truly love Star Wars. It’s just… wow. It’s so cool. I’m such a Star Wars nerd. I love Star Wars. Yes. Star Wars.

4. Writing!! Ideas for fanfics occupy my mind a Lot lol. And this past year I’ve gotten into writing poetry, and that’s been fun :)

5. Definitely a bit of a turn here, but the whole abortion topic never fails to get me worked up. I’ve researched so much into this topic, and heard so many stories, and talked with so many people, and it’s so… I don’t even know the word for it. It’s such an important thing to discuss. Definitely pretty passionate about this.

What makes you feel at home?

A couple things :)

My own blankets, my stuffed animal, my little pink blanket I’ve had since I was a baby. A bathroom that feels safe (I am very picky when it comes to bathrooms lol). Praying. Chatting with friends. Hanging out with my family and being weird together.

More so that last one, than all the others, I think. I was just in the car earlier with my parents and we just… chatted, and I felt so content and safe and happy :)

Share the last dream you remember.

Unfortunate question, my friend.

Aksgajstajsgajsgajs

OKAY SO

MY MIND IS A STRANGE PLACE

MY DREAMS ARE EVEN MORE STRANGE

HERE IS MY MOST RECENT DREAM

Alrighty, so I was at the beach. But it was like… set up like a video game?? I found this overweight guy and had to follow him—for some reason—because of like… a side quest?? Or something???

Not completely sure lol

Anyways, I followed this random dude for a short while, until he went into this long, cheap-looking trailer. I had no idea what was inside the trailer, but I went in anyway (because of the side quest, I suppose).

It was apparently a black market??? It had a really weird setup, with DIY walls creating suspicious pathways throughout the building; I found like, a whole bunch of stuffed animals (apparently being illegally sold) including some of my very own irl stuffed animals!!

I picked up the ones that were mine, trying to figure out this situation…

And then I turned around and realized I’d been caught :0

There was this older man (not the same one from earlier) standing behind me, and he… had Ghostbur?? 🥺 HE HAD CAPTURED GHOSTBUR!!! I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW GHOSTBUR WAS IN THIS TRAILER!!!

And Ghostbur was really scared and it was sad :’( He may have been crying? I think he was, but I don’t quite remember.

:’(((

The guy holding onto him was basically like, “girl, if you don’t stop messing with the black market stuff, something Bad is going to happen to Ghostbur” and obviously I didn’t want that, so I complied.

Time jump!

Ghostbur wasn’t ever in the dream again (I hope he was okay :’0) but me and the older guy started having this really obscure heart-to-heart lol

He told me that his mom (keep in mind, this guy is like, 50 or 60. I’m not entirely sure how his mom is still alive) wanted to send him and his brother off to an asylum because she no longer felt safe around them?? Which… is weird??? Oh my gosh??????

I pretending to listen genuinely, and I asked questions and nodded my head, and he seemed to trust me.

After a bit, he let me leave, but warned me to not mess with his business again or else he’d alter the US government XD

That dream kinda ended after that lol

1. What are your OC’s best and worst qualities? What do they think are their best and worst qualities?

2. Is there a meaning behind their name, or a particular reason why they have it? (either in the story, or why you as the author decided to give them their name)

for Val :D

Oooh, I love these, thank you!

1. What are your OC’s best and worst qualities? What do they think are their best and worst qualities?

I think her best qualities are that she is kind, clever, patient, and driven--Valerie is a hard worker with a big heart. But some of her worst traits also kind of come from being so sensitive and in-tuned with people--She doesn't hate often, but when she does, she is extremely unforgiving and malicious. Valerie's charm can also very easily become manipulative, especially after years of navigating the corporate rat race, and she's prone to neglecting her own emotional needs, which can lead to her burning out and becoming very apathetic and self-pitying.

Valerie would probably say her work ethic is her best quality and her self-pitying/whininess is her worst quality.

2. Is there a meaning behind their name, or a particular reason why they have it? (either in the story, or why you as the author decided to give them their name)

So her full name is Valerie Irene Powell:

Valerie is the canon name for female V, but I actually waivered for a few weeks on accepting it for her because I already had an OC named "Valerie." My Fallout courier was Valerie Hudson, but I decided to rename her since 1) I wasn't too attached to my courier and 2) in recent years I've come to really like using canon first names for my video game OCs. So Valerie Hudson was renamed to Natalie Hudson and V officially became Valerie Powell

"Irene" was picked mostly at random after browsing name websites, but it's family name on her mother's side. Great-aunt or someone, probably--Haven't gone that far back on the family tree.

And "Powell" is sort of a subtle nod to my all-time favorite series, Tomb Raider. The bad guy in the first Angelina Jolie TR movie is Manfred Powell, and he's a smary lawyer by day and the whole pretentious vibe just kind of worked for me when I was leaning more into her smug corporate side.

This also means her initials are VIP, which was not intentional but I decided I also didn't want to change it. We'll chalk it up to a little dad joke from her father.

Yesterdays Revelations, Todays Conclusions (Lessons)...

THERES A SECTION TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, SEPARATED FROM THE TOP HALF, BY EQUAL SIGNS, THAT WAS NOT ON TWITTER. PLEASE NOTE.

Random convoluted conversation, in mixed languages of English & Indian, between my mother and me, from 5:45 PM-5:54 PM, on 4/1/24, in kitchen, where moms & my phone present & brain hacking.Shows nonsense that has to be b/c some1 is trying to get me frustrated with basic things.

Lesson of PowderedMix, in cup of water, on kitchen table(from 4/1/24 - mayB b4 12PM/after1PM). I spilled powder randomly, 2x. Was made 2B inattentive.-

-in conjunction w/last tweet, Mom gets on myCase, asking Y I don’t use sink, Y I don’t use counter where she is, Y I didn’t ask her 2 move from sink,& wats wrong w/me 4 spilling powder- all these Why Why Why’s! -was heated conversation necessary over 2 bounty paper towel sheets?-

Would any of you believe, the people doing the various levels of mind control/mind reading/possession with me, spend hours talking, gently addressing having sex, then harem style lesbian sex, then a girl who I never talked to, but felt heart broken over,-

- in conjunction with previous tweet, over & over, its told 2 me, like military conditioning, “Rachel is dead” like they think I have god like powers & saying it in me,will make it happen. They haunt me repeatedly w/this name. Then they say she attempted suicide over randomness.-

- they tell me while everyone experienced, what they call are my strong emotions, somehow I’m responsible for her attempting Suicide over these stupid kids saying they relayed her inappropriate manner.-

- they tell me, while everyone experienced, what they call are my strong emotions, somehow I’m responsible for Rachel, a girl from 18 years ago, attempting Suicide over these stupid kids saying they relayed her in an inappropriate manner.-

-They tell me I’m Ram & she’s Sita from Hindu love story, in manner of making fun of my dad as owner of something like a 7/11, or me as Apu from Simpsons, or me being a version of Buddha nicknamed “Guru Nobody.”army men tell me I’m a pussy, that they as numerous d*ks RamIn.-

- we all watch tv w/our favorite actors/actresses. They notice I like how Fox News Anchor Kaylie McEnany, who I believe is married w/2 kids. They then tell me, while talking in head as me, 2 condition me thru me, that forget Rachel, whos also prob married now, move w/ Kayleigh. -

- then nonsense about a paycheck/telepathic reality love show or whatever those things are called…I think it’s called The Bachelor…then someone tells me recently, she’s been recruited as to be a female victim of some sort, so it’s not all about the Indian kids getting abused.-

-I was never treated as American citizen;never had rights, privacy, freedom, dignity, of 1. For 18 yrs+, this transpires. These guys doing this, get me in2delusional state & have me write against a possible Unity(United) government& have me in that state, depict self as patriot.-

- I think if you knew my time, inside and out, during the times this phenomena about penises and sex from SUNY University at Albany, and mind control from the U.S. government, transpired, where they give sensation of ball fondling/seizures, you agree with my next tweet:-

-regards2lastTweet, 2 finish thought/2 make it clear, While Ive no problems w/individual Americans, Myself? I am NOT an American. I will never B American. I refuse 2B anAmerican. These people inside me, outside me, are not my people. They claim 2B w/ me? Where?On TV?Delusions?!-

In the words of Christ, whose principles this Satanic country and American military (in their Crusade against the mind) were founded in, “My people are not my blood brothers and sisters, or the mother who shares blood/genes. My people R those who share in my values & practices.”

- in same manner the military or University at Albany makes me make life gestures at my television, which allegedly has a camera, from some of the correlational eye movements and how my chair is positioned, they made me, Renny, f* prostitutes, Rachel suck d*ks of guys arranged,-

- theyre telling me Kayleigh got hooked in another conspiracy associated w/1 of channels she’s aired in. Apparently something was gave her a “conscious stream” like virus in2 herHead. This conscious stream has apparently nullified brain waves, so she’s now like a cat w/o a soul.

- if U were all experiencing a fake conscious stream, it couldB governments way ofSayingThey can hack any1’s head, but they need 2 do it w/virus of a false conscious stream. They claim, only w/that, they can read minds/control them. That’s propaganda sent, when can happen w/o it.

- the fake conscious stream installed to experience emotions or mental upgrades, if any of this is real, was a trick 2 figure out ur brains frequency to read it/control it w/o fake stream, with correct key 2 door..I guess logic is, it happens 2 every1 now-2B paranoid or not…?!-

- the other two women that they keep extrapolating pros and cons in my mind repeatedly, like conditioning or even brain washing, are Paula Reid from CNN and Carlie Shimkus from Fox News. Something thought thru me Carlie had a tear masked over joy and makeup,-

- &Kaylie recd. a harmful upgrade 2 control emotion…So Kalyies married w/ 2-3 kids, Carlie’s either single mom or has single mom & apparently I’m receiving Indian arranged marriage w/ blondes b/c Im depicted as something outside an “Independent.”& Paulas unhappy as a Democrat?!-

- apparently, American theme of big cars, bigMoney, 4 blondes, this is propaganda 2 justify mind control/ reading…”look how he came out of it!” All while hearing conspiracy theories validated from The Why Files, w/Trump preaching Christian Nationalism w/ American Bible version.-

- then, while 7pm EST CNN Primetime was airing, when I went to my main floor, from my bedroom, to get something to eat: Between 7:43 PM and 7:47 PM, on 4/01/2024, My mom comes down and complains I left tv on. I have a complicated setup to turn on and I like sound playing around-

-in conjunction with previous tweet, Between 7:43 PM and 7:47 PM, on 4/01/2024, when my mom asks me why I left the tv on, I flat out say, we have bigger problems than tv raising electricity bill, like mind reading, mind control, &mental illness to worry about.-

-in conjunction with previous tweet, Between 7:43 PM and 7:47 PM, on 4/01/2024, regards2 mom asking me Y I left tv on, I flat out say, we have bigger problems like mind reading, mind control, &mental illness to worry about.-

- so I’ve been in my situation for at least 18 years with no one, even my parents telling me, what goes on, I went numb to what I couldn’t change a while back. But something’s making me feel non matching sensations/anxiety 18 years later. Doesn’t time heal? -

-SUNY Albany ganged up on me on day of my finals, where I had 4 back2back. I went 2 that school 4 an additional semester. & I stayed behind in Albany area, w/o setting foot on campus, 4 a semester after that. Wouldn’t it strike any1 as odd, for random feelings 18 yrs later?-

- on famous people I see on News-legit famous people who no they get attention 4 normalReasons (Anderson, Erin, or Wolf on CNN), they seem calm (ifNothingElse )w/“abrupt” news. If fake conscious stream wasPlanted in ur head, it probably numbed news2mind control w/o need4 18 yrs.-

Note conversation b/w mother & me, in common area consisting of kitchen, on 4/2/24 between: 10:17 AM-10:20AM (Lesson of “Buuut”this/that) 10:24AM-10:28AM (Lesson of Connotations like with basic words like “Worry”) Note mother’s attitude in voice, head shaking, body language.

- regarding last tweet, I didn’t have phone on me, but moms iPhone (for phone mic listeners) was lying on kitchen counter. For brain hackers remote viewing/mind controlling/brain map ear listeners,U have our ears, brain processing of copy able data, and real time ability2listen.-

- like how many idiots does it take to change a lightbulb when a camera or phone mic or, even more obvious: talking 2 some1 in the structure of law enforcement (after 18 years of snowballing escalation w/wats “already” been witnessed), face to face, human to human, eye to eye.-

- all these extra bells and whistles & trying to make things cool, is American government trying 2 exploit situation w/ everything it wants to do with a stupid brown man(face of their enemy) who’s apparently “lucky” to get such fortunate opportunity in his supposedly sad life-

- while I write things, b*stards in military & SUNY Albany cut off blood flow in various parts 2 body, regardless of headstand/corrective measures, causing constant sedation/weakness, complete lack of wound healing/facial scar healing/balding, pain where a slight stretch hurts-

- so physical torture and obstruction of breathing is induced. If I try to do the Harvard Dr Herbert Relaxation Response, my brothers is forcibly stopped midway b/c it’s supposedly gets in way of mind reading/control.-

- b/c good blood flow apparently contains Chinese CHI, and apparently source of my blessings in this cursed life is the Kama Sutra and something called tantra, Americans constrict my veins 2 being spindly at cost of great pain/discomfort 2 me, out of fear project won’t succeed.-

-so watIs “lesson of buuut this/that”? In life, alwaysA “but” weCanAdd 2OurSentences. “I can,” but cost is this, but I might have to do this, but then I’ll have to worry about that. Take out the “buts” or excuses 4 doing right things & act ethically, or continue being a*ses.-

- so watIs “lesson of connotations vs definitions vs colloquialisms, of basic words like “worry” ”? “Worry as colloquial expression “Don’t worry about it, man.” “Worry” by definition, w/mayB a little cultural connotation is anxiety, which canB extrapolated to excessive concern.-

-“Worry” in terms of cultural connotations/cultural clashes? My mom notices I bought 2 coolLooking sweaters. She decides 2 tell me, w/her 60, me 36, don’t wear everyday. U’ll ruin it. Where the h*ll do I have 2 go amidst confinement? I buy these things 2 feel comfortable @ home.-

- Then this inane topic becomes an intellectual random discussion, where if mom just ignored her idea for my clothing, there would be less irritation. I tell her “don’t worry about what I do” in these matters.-

-4 expressionSake: “don’t worry about it”: mom’s showing concern w/my shirt deteriorating from excessive wear. She defiantly responds w/“I am not worried.”She thinks of word “worry,” as an immigrant, quite literally. Shes thinking probably, something related 2 tears/fear/anxiety.

Prayer is communication w/God. OrchestratorsRestrictAbility 2prayInHead w/stream, whereOnlyThey canTalk. So, I say in a dialect, w/my mouth. Aloud, cuz can’t in head. Non English?2respect sanctityOfPrayer. Orchestrators? “Y he asks God 4 revenge on me? ThenInterrogationOnThat.-

Matthew 6:6-7 “But when U pray, go in2 ur room, close door & pray 2 ur Father, who is unseen. Then ur Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward U. & when U pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, 4 they think they will be heard b/c of their many words.” ================================================

(WASN'T POSTED ON TWITTER)

"Lesson of the Username and Passwords" took place between 11:10AM-11:20 AM, where my dad, for some reason, prays aloud, about a brand range of things, without a door to close, on the floor, in our living room. His phone is always on him, even if mine wasn't on me or in my pocket. You're clearly hacking his brain, or could at the very least, listen through the mic on his phone. He said quite clearly, casually, (like more American nonsense in this crazy country), "none of us are behaving normally at this time, in his Indian dialect." (Months or years go by, since that comment in our tv room or living room). But what is the lesson from the story? My dad makes random requests of me, from updating a payment option on his automatic payment sites or taking a 5 hr driving class on his behalf. It's never, son! "Can you make me a cup of tea or warm some snacks for me?" It usually borders around: "Can you use the slow printer scanner (instead of the quicker TurboScan Pro App picture taking/scanning method on iPhone 14 pro max), to individually scan the 50 pages from a book I wrote and sold in India, where I was a trophy winner for writing through the Malayalee FOKANA convention. Being the water bearer of the family, the theme of his books, of which I cannot read because of the Indian language and Indian letters, is grief/toil/turmoil/anguish. But back to the point. My father's requests are slow, painful, and tedious. Then when someone raises a better method, or some criticisms, he says in his Indian dialect, "heaven forbid! I should ask my family members for some help with anything" <-Extreme random comments. So with the lesson of the username and passwords? I need to update my dad's payment method for his business' telephone bill's automatic payment, online. There is a username and password. In my thought restricting/blocking/ &inability to recall dilemma, I can't remember my own things or my own day shaping beliefs. If my dad doesn't know this and expects me to keep track of his usernames and passwords, and blames for not knowing them, on top of it all (when he can take the slightest bit of burden to write it in his Notes iPhone App or take advantage of the iPhone Password Manager), it just adds to the frustration of the day. It makes a 10 second online update, into a time consuming process, that he knows nothing about, where I have to update the username, forget the password link, change the password, confirm new account update in his email, and so forth. What's the lesson? Make reasonable requests from others, and take some responsibility for your information and actions by jotting them down or telling someone, so that when he asks someone to help you, there is no having them start from scratch. If you take responsibility, you lessen the responsibility of others. In effect, if you take care of yourself, you then take care of others and the load the they have to carry. In conclusion, you respect and love yourself, whereby you now respect and love others, in their time, and use of their mental energy.

TORTORELLA WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID THAT GUYS DONT KNOW HOW TO TAKE HITS THESE DAYS. and guess what – it's not their faults!!

okay, hear me out. Hathaway got 5 for boarding Luke Hughes, but watch the play I linked. the hit A.) doesn't come until AFTER the ref's whistle blew for icing. B.) THIS ISN'T EVEN BOARDING. boarding is a check on a defenseless opponent – Hathaway not only thought the play was still good, but he could not have more clearly checked Luke's shoulder, not his back; he was fully in LHughes' line of sight and C.) jesus h christ, hughes. he just crumples like a house of cards. both Hathaway and Luke Hughes are 6'2"; Luke Hughes is 184 lbs and Hathaway is 212 lbs. but luke is a d-man in the NHL, where these kinds of hits are allowed, and these are BIG DUDES. 184 is still pretty fucking heavy. sorry your man went down, but the check was good. if the NHL wants to institute safety rules about checking or fighting, then do that, because the culture is changing, but don't fucking pick and choose when/where/who/how to enforce rules, because that check is still fucking good. and he's right, the league is smaller, faster, less violent, so young guys are coming in having played a different kind of hockey than what's currently being played in the NHL, and they're getting hurt because of it! either change the rules or make sure your guys know how to protect themselves. but they can't have it both ways.

i went serious. sorry

💣 Blow it up: pick one NHL team. Change its name, mascot, logo/colors. Tell me why you chose the new elements.

ANOTHA ONE >:)

i'm going with matthew tkachuk as my second option, and i think yall are going to agree with this one more than joseph woll LMAOOOOO

1. i feel like a lot of people would love to throw him into a volcano to appease the hockey gods. 2. i think he'd be down for hard crimes. (i think he's DONE crimes.) 3. and i think sometimes, you need a fucking hard-headed asshole to save the world with!

🎶 What would your goal song be and why?

i'm not changing it from megan thee stallion's verse from dolla sign slime, but if i had to pick a second? one way or another, by blondie!

🏒What was your first impression of hockey? Why? Has it changed? If so, why?

this one i already answered, and i don't have a second choice about the past!

🎰 What is a gamble/risky decision you have made recently that has paid off?

HAHAHA speaking of second choices about the past!

honestly i am really not much of a risk taker, i'm very very safe and i stick to what i know and hate doing new things. doing things scares me! but sometimes saying yes to going out with people i don't know well and doing new things is really fun! i recently went ice-skating with a bunch of friends from school that i don't know very well, and i was really nervous bc i've actually never skated before and they were all better friends with each other than they were with me – but it was actually so much fun, and every time i look back on that night i feel so happy!

thank you so much for the ask!! <3
